mine are flaking off near at the lug holes.
I've noticed that as well. Many wheels that I see that are colored, (White, Gunmetal, Bronze, etc.) that the coating isn't as sufficient near the lug area. I guess it's difficult to spray in those areas.

Why not use the Gunmetal wheel paint by Duplicolor? I've tried it and it works really well. :thumbup:

like the steel grays? is that the color name they give instead of gunmetal?

also how much do the 16" weigh w/o tires?
