that looks really nice. what kind of prep and paint did you use? I'm gonna paint my wheels completely black soon so I just want to know what paint and prep procedures would be good.

Thanks guys!

The wheels were in good shape so I just masked the areas to stay aluminum and sanded the wheels well with 400. After that I cleaned them up good with thinner, taped a negative and applied Vaseline to all areas staying aluminum... Then I pulled the tape and sprayed several thin coats of Rustoleum Satin Black. Let them dry for about 2 hrs and used a soapy rag to wipe off the vaseline and they're done...
