Check it out, it actually turned out pretty well I have to say. Although not for me, I like the finished product a lot. Our bodyshop did this in house.

Default Interesting look, but any idea why on some spokes it's the overlying piece

but on some, it's the underlying piece that's black? It makes it look very odd to me. Or is that just a trick of the camera?

Default I think it's my bad blackberry pics...

But yeah, on the spokes they're all painted black on the outer and under edges all the way to where they "end."

You shoulda seen the tape job!

IMO it just emphasizes how ugly the stock wheels are... guess I'm just more traditional :-)

I actually don't think it looks that bad on a black car. It is certainly different.
