Changed my rims

Not really a huge change they are the same wheels i had before and hate. So i got this good wheel cleaner and the silver started coming off the old ones so i decided to spray them black. The center cap is a semi flat the rim is gloss black and i left the chrome ring alone cause i like how that looks. They came out good i was happy with them. Kinda have a gta wheel look from a distance.

Heres the b4

ok last one the story goes like this I found these from a guy on CZ28.com message board they were used for road racing wheels, they were gold so I blasted them and had the centers powder coated black. they are 17X9.5 3piece epsilon wheels they have fourth gen backspacing but my rear end is from a 93 and I had spacers made for the front. The only other ones I have seen are on vettes. and I paid 900 for the 5 used wheels

ok last one and I know the car still needs some work and it has since been lowered and looks much better (no new pics) but I think it's going in the right direction.
