nice paint job. Hope you got lots of spare cans of paint because the paint on your rims will only last you approx 1 season.
If you want it to lasts, you need it powdercoated.

Powdercoating isn't a brand, it is a method of painting for rims.

It isn't that expensive, if you really like that colour, do it right so it last a long time.

Btw, those colour look sick with SIR rims (I think they are SIR rims?)

paint lasts a pretty good while on rims if prepped properly...the black paint on my old crx rims lasted nuff time and I only had to touch up when I hit a curb with em and when I got new tires put on...they held up to winter and the elements very good...if ya prep em like a car the paint will last

the problem is that most of us don't have the knowledge of paint prepations. Get them powdercoated. They look mint.
