Yeah I would seriously consider it, but I would want to practice a bit. But I don't have anything to practice on nonetheless

Did you leave the tire on?

$40 each is pretty cheap too, and you get a pro to do it.

powder is the way to go when doing this. we have painted many wheels in the body shop and unless you have a polished lip that is not painted ( you dont) it will get messed up with the quickness.
