This is after, All black. Sanded down, few coats of Primer, and few coats of Black Gloss paint. I have a few pictures with the caps on, these are without the caps. I'll upload those tomorrow, I may also add a few more coats of the Gloss!
The blue is the painters tape still around the rims. I left a silver/gray lip on them. I think personally they turned out pretty great![/QUOTE]

Pretty brave painting them while they were still on the car. Did the paint get all over the calipers and the brake discs?
Also, did you hit the dish of the rims?
I'm interested to see the final result.

I thought so also. But it was really simple. Just took long because of the many coats I had to apply.
And nope. I took time to cover everything. Only what was supposed to get painted got painted. It's all done now. I'll take some Picts tomorrow and upload them. They turned out very nice in my opinion. Worth very penny of the 22$ I spent on all sand paper, tape, and paint. Now just need to tint the windows.

thats not too bad! you can touch up the edges of your masking by adding silver paint, or removing more of the black. maybe even paint the whole lip red. the calipers would look cool red too with the black wheels.
you can see i started with nearly the same car:
