Very nice, I painted mine too last August with semi-gloss black engine enamel and loved it. After a few months they still held up very well, but decided to get them powdercoated semi-gloss black.

yea ill post some better pix tomorrow once I get the wheels back on the car and tires all cleaned up...I put 5 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear...the prep work was a bi*ch tho but was definitely worth it! I used Rust-Oleum Flat Black Wheel Paint and Rust-Oleum Clear Wheel Paint that I picked up at Autozone
