The OP isn't even that far from me, I could give you hand painting them if you needed it.

I painted them with the tires on, just taped off the tires prior to paint.

im most likely goin with the painting route thanks to Off Road Teacher. i like how your rims turned out. As far as the chrome goes im guessing it has to be sanded all the way down so all the chrome is off or just enough to let the primer adhear to the wheels?

Sand them down real good, prep is the most important step of the painting process.

To the OP (Original Poster) I'd take teach up on his offer and if you don't want to, at least follow his thread that cheap posted up.
