I thought the best way to do these is to dip the wheel in the black paint to the required depth to get the even line all around

Need pics of these mounted

You'd need a big container filled with paint and that would be very wasteful.
Maybe if you were manufacturing sets, but a paint shop isn't going to do that without charging you for every drop of the 25+ gallons of paint that would require.

Agreed. I remember reading that's how Fuchs did it. Maybe just internet rumours though.
...but a tub made for purpose wouldn't be too hard to do. Fill it with rust oleum... Bake in the oven...

just bought these wheels ...

I'm actually thinking about blasting my 17" boxster wheels, polishing the lip and then shooting with Gibbs to go for that retro American racing torque thrust wheel look.
