I would love nothing more than gunmetal, such as in the pic below, but I just dont think that the Duplicolor Graphite will give me that look. They will look darker and more gray than anything. I'll go to autozone and get a few samples, and otherwise go with silver.

haha! Shit, I'd love nothing more than to have them powdercoated, but I think a rattlecan will have to do for now. I'll def. post a DIY when Im done though.

Well i guess i'm supposed to show you guys how bad white wheels suck!

They suck so bad that it makes someone drive to another state, over 4 hours away to tear them down & sland blast all that nasty white off of them.



Cover them in Chrome Smoke powder!



Bake them in my big azz oven!



Cool down time.



And then mount / balance / & install them back on his car so that he could drive all the way back home!
