i think it looks nice man. the lugs really set it apart from other black oem rims. looks like a pretty good shine already...i don't think i would have the patience to do that!

Pretty simple actually. Just takes a lot of time. Wash your wheels very well with acetone etc and then wet sand them i had only 600 sanding paper. After that i put on 3 coat of primer 30 min per coat, i guess you can do more. then 3-4 coats of the actual paint 30min per coat, then if you want to clearcoat it 30min inbetween i only did 2 coats of clearcoat but i guess you can do more if you want it more glossy.
