They look good, what kind of prep work did you do?

Got some wheel cleaner and just scrubbed them down really well, rinse, and do it again. Let them completely dry, every crevice needs to be dry and clean. I Put some tape in the lugnut holes, because I didn't want the lug nuts to seat on rubber and not the actual rim. I got saran wrap and wrapped the entire rim and tire. Took a razer and carefully cut along the tire bead. Remove the saran wrap from the rim and tuck the plastic around the tire in the tire bead.

That's all I did. I know some people used masking tape all the way around the rim. I think that is to time consuming and the plastic covers more than just an inch of tire.
 
my fenders are rolled and was necessary with my stock wheels but only because i have 15mm spacers.

Wow shows how much I frequent this anymore. I haven't had to roll the fenders. The car is set up with RPM springs. But it looks like someone rolled them before me, anyway to check?
 
So I used to own a black car where I'd rattlecanned the wheels white and it popped into my head that white wheels might look good on my black MS6. Has anyone done white plasti-dip on wheels?
 
A little overkill on the prep work man haha. I just rubbed down with isopropyl alcohol and sprayed away.
