My attempt at painting stock rims

[tyusha]

my attempt at painting stock rims. My stockers are being used strictly as winter rims. They were curbed and scratched to s***. One of the rims was badly bent and then fixed, but the finish was never restored. Anyway, i got them painted in bronze. I don't yet have pics of them on my car but the god damned winter is gonna be here soon.... so pics of rims on the car will be up soon enough.
I painted them with duplicolor wheel paint - 5 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear
Here are the pics:

Hot, I can't wait to see what they look like on the car. I was thinking about doing the exact same thing, and you even have a black p5 too

Brian, that is hilarious. CHAV!

That being said, I think that there are no less than three different types of pharmaceuticals that can help you and your particular problem with free-association.
