Look MUCH better, I never liked that style of the OEM rims, but you made them look decent.

I never saw those stock. But agreed you made them look good

Thanks for the compliments. Got tired of the stock silver, so I decided to spend a weekend and make them gunmetal. The only bad thing is that the paint is chipping easily.

it's really easy, dupli-color makes an awesome wheel paint and clear coat, they're called high performance wheel coating - you just cleanup/sand your wheels so they dont have any bubbles/rust spots primer them up put about 6-8 light coats of paint then 3 medium coats of clear coat and they look great - check my gallery i think i have a pic of one of my wheels however they were not washed before the pic so they arent very shiny - mine have lasted well over a month with no chips
hope it helped

Here is a pic of the center cap. This was a pita since you have to tape off everything except the center symbol.

I'll keep the wheels like this until I can get my aftermarket rims.
