The wife "who don't want me I spray them in the first place" thinks I should do the whole wheel solid Black, what do you think?

Those wheels look amazing black and polished. Looks better than going all black with those.

Thank you, now my next step I'd to paint the jeep lettering on the front sides and back, I was thinking of going with a black crome, and then gloss them. And got to paint over the gold pin stripping. It's painted on so I can't just remove it.

Painted wheels?-image-693551731.jpg

So I got all 4 wheels done, like I said next I'm taking the letters off the side and I'm going to paint the jeep letters on the front and back black, that pin stripe is the only thing I need to figure out now is exactly what to do with it. Seeing how it's painted on. Any ideas?

Just remove it. Seems like the gold is kind of drawing away. I am thinking about removing mine.

Looks great man. I would paint the center cap black. It would pull out a more black and polish look. Right now it looks more like just polish.

Nope, no primer. The wheel shop shouldn't scratch them up if they know what they are doing. I painted my stock rims black and I've changed my tires about 3 times already since then and they still look good.
