Yup they have a few layers of clear, just rattle can rustolum clear and i think colorplace black paint not sure on that though.

What you can do next time you paint them is head down to your local csk auto, autozone, or advanced and pick up some actual wheel paint. Comes in a rattle can but its supposed to hold up a bunch better. I used it on my 94 grand prix and it never flaked or scratched (but then again the worst thing that saw was snow and a little salt for 2 days when i took it up north). Its a little more expensive but ya might give it a try. I forget the brand but i want to say its made by duplicolor.

At any rate though, looks really nice. Cant wait to see picks of em on.

I went around town to the parts stores and they didn't have black wheel paint anywhere. The colorplace stuff I used said it was warrented for 2 years of no rust so I figured it'll hold up better then most other rattle can stuff. The only wheel paint I found was silver and white.

They look nice, can't wait to see them on your blaze!!!

^Thanks! Me either! Hopefully the new meaty wider tires will help make it look alot meaner to! And I might get the front windows tinted if I find a place to do them. Anyone have any idea how much that would cost? thanks

I painted the wheels on my old s10 with the cheapest flat black spray paint i could find (I sanded and primered first though), and it held up WELL until the day i sold the truck 3 YEARS later. But ya, in th long run Im sure they would have eventaully gone to sh*t. IMO powdercoating is a good option, but its hard to find a cheap powdercoater. I found one on craigslist that ive been usuing for a while to do all my motorcycle parts. He is very cheap and does good work. But I consider myself lucky...

^ Did you do any offroading with them? I sanded mine and then put a few coats of paint and a few of clear on them no primer though. I figured they would hold up decently as I paint stuff on my bike with rattle can paint and it takes a beating and doesnt really chip off unless it hits something real hard. Thanks

looks good, i like those better than the black one everybody buys
