Thumbs up

dj-

really like it. can't wait to see the tires shined once the paint is fully cured. definitely will look better the dull tires and understand your patience to wait for the full cure.

makes your 17's looks like 18's!

I'm now wondering how my 18 turbo twists would look in black on seal gray/black car???

I would paint the lip or edge of the wheel silver to break up the black of the tire and wheel. It will play well with your painted roll bars and make any curbing that might come your way in the future easier to repair, all you'll need is a can of duplicolor body filler and Wurth Silver. All German cast alloy wheels are made from the same paint code or very similar. I might paint the background of the center caps silver as well.

Try doing it with photoshop.

p.s.
dress those tires! I've been using the poorboys trim spray, works great on the windshield trim, bumperrettes and the plastic molding between the top and the windows... doesn't run in the rain...
