Definitely go gloss black. The flat black rims look like they are just dirty with brake dust.

thanks! they are gonna look sweet on the truck! hopefully they will be on by the weekend.

I hope the paint holds up for when they put on the rims and balance them. I'm thinking the cone for the balancer might scratch my rims..... but it shouldnt be anything too bad that I can touch up.

Great idea and it will look a lot better with the chrome lugs but I would make the chrome lip just a touch bigger so its a little bit more noticeable and then you have yourself a winner

thanks for the compliments, I'm keeping it flat. I might do a flat clear to protect it a lil more. but we'll see. and I debating on painting the handles silver. they will be a hell of alot easier to paint.

and ramhunter,, you had your chance lol Im in love with these rims now. the pics turned out a lil blury cause I couldnt stop masturbating to them cause they look soo damn good haha
