Actually they look pretty good. Did you take the tires off or just cover them when you painted the rims?

-E- · 08-23-2002, 05:17 PM

I cover the tires with duct tape it hold better

Cool, looks good <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

My clear coat has lines all through it where it's breaking appart and my center caps (now removed <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>) are greenish.
$7.50 to fix that isn't bad at all...
