Good job on the wheels. Post some pics when you get the new centercaps, too.

just got one more question, sorry.
How did you go about painting the inside of the rim?

Thanks

No worries, I'll answer what I can.

If you're talking about the inside of the actual wheel, the answer is, I didn't. I just painted the "finished" part of the wheel exterior, aside from the lip of course. I figured the inside wasn't finished from the factory, so I didn't need to go overboard.

I suppose you could put some paper or something inside of there to prevent spraying it, but I don't really see why. Mine were so coated with road grime after only 500 miles on the car, that I just figured any overspray wouldn't stick to it anyhow, lol. I made sure the part where I actually wanted paint to stick was properly prepared and cleaned of course.
