    It's also terribly played out. Why do you think I'm trying to sell my rims?

    Yeah, hot I know, but the problem with the black on silver thing is that you can never see the detail of the wheels unless they are in direct sunlight on a clear day. I even used a slightly matte finish on them to try to get some of the details of the spokes to show up. If you want black wheels, just get some steelies, they are cheap, and wont require you to mask off, prep, sand or anything like that.

    They are 350, but right now Speedemon kinda has dibs on them. And I'm not sure when I'm going to sell them as I don't know how long it is going to take to get my new wheels.
