1 year ago I bought some used aftermarket rims with the intent of repainting them. i finished sanding them down long ago and sorta stashed it away in the corner for time being. forgot about it. got a motorcycle. stopped caring about cars.

well the time came to change my tires and now i needed to finish my rims cuz i wanted to slap the new tires on those bad boys instead.

after:




installed



it was a long and painful process (3 hours of sanding PER rim) but definetly worth it. I love how my rims look especially while in motion.

its better to take off your tires so that you get an even coat all over, but from the pics it looks pretty decent.
