very nice indeed

a quick tip for others that want to do this... if you deflate the tires as much as possible you can use some rope below the rim, this will allow the tires to pull away from the rim

and this will allow paint to go completely around the edge and under it as well

That looks good! The chrome ring adds a nice touch.

They look really good man. I had a few questions. Some don't directly apply to the wheels, but I thought I'd ask anyway. How long did it take you? What hood is that? What tint is on your driver and passenger windows?

It took me two full days only because I don't have a paint booth to bake the finishes. I wanted to ensure that each coat was dry and that I wouldn't get any shrinkage before I moved on. The hood is just a stock hood with plastic fake hood scoops stuck on. As for the tint, I have no idea the specs on that. It is pretty dark but not completely black as it appears in the pictures. Going on 1 1/2 years and I've only been pulled over once for the windows, got off with a warning. As for the wheels they have seen a number of two-tracks and mud but are holding up great!
