Painting my rims...
Here's a few pics of my rims. I have only done 1 so far but here's a pic showing the newly painted and the original. I used a high temp gloss black engine spray paint. Here's a few pics:

In the very first pic the back is the newly painted one and the front is the untouched original. The First close up is the (back) painted one and the second the (front) original.

I just did the very same thing on my Formula, gloss black - and yes - getting between the spokes was a little bit of a pain IMO.

looks awesome. nice job.
it took me about 6 or 7 hours in total to do all of my wheels (the gtas), primer first and several coats of paint afterwards... felt dumb afterwards for not painting them black (like yours).
meh, i have new rims now.
