I am sure this has been done/post here before, but figured instead of searching for a thread, that I'd start a new one.

After having my OEM sold and the buyer no show twice, I decided to keep them for a winter set. I mounted Blizzaks last winter, which were great, but the wheels were pretty thrashed. I decided to clean them up for this winter, and try out the Dupli-Color wheel paint in a dark grey (I don't have the can with me, so I can't confirm the color name/name). Sanded most of the original paint off, filled any remaining scratches/gouges, primer, sand, primer, and three coats of the wheel paint. Attached is a picture. I hope to mount in the next couple of day, and will post additional pictures. What do you think?

two things. They look good, and also I wish I had seen them for sale then. Wanna sell them with the Blizzaks on?? :hihi: (Back to shopping for winter tires and rims)

Here a couple pics of them mounted. Surprised how close the Dupli-Color Graphite color is to the RS body color. Also, how much I need to wash the RS. Cheers.
