Looks good, only bad thing is as soon as u get a flat or need new tires, bye bye paint...it's gonna get chipped quick. Especially with wheel balancing. Guys come in all the time to my work with painted rims and not one looks the same as the first week, unless powder coated, won't last but a few months, if that. I would spray 3-4 coats of clear as well for extra protection

I have plasti dip on mine and so far with off roading and drifting they still are holding up great. I only had one incident and that was when I had my tire off it got power steering fluid on it and it sat on there for days and that made the paint bubble but 3 coats made it look good again.
