it looks great but you have to do those center caps. the "m" separates from the silver back ground so it looks clean.

not all center caps have the M come off... I have had 3 different sets. Of the 12 caps, 5 did, 7 did not.
for my track rims, just lightly sanded the whole thing and painted over the whole damn thing. Fast, easy... Feasy.

one of the best stock rim paintjobs ive seen. especially for doing it yourself. but for me, such a hot color combo looks hotter on a hotter rim. catch my drift? pic ***** time....
