Umm... aren't your rims already black enough? I know they aren't BLACK... but I think you're just wasting money. If you don't like them how they are... you should've got diff rims. Sell those and find something else.

i found this stuff from duplicolor its specifically wheel paint. i read alot of reviews that say that it is very durable and will only cost $20. i am gonna look into it, but like most of my ideas this one probally wont be completed.

Why are you painting them black? What color are they right now? I think if anything powdercoat them. But it seems pointless since they almost look black anyway.

Surprisingly I was reading this Duplicolor Wheel paint yesterday. I'm thinking of painting my Z wheels to graphite/gun metal color. Tell me if you gonna get those wheels painted or not. Thanks ahead.

I sprayed mine just make sure it is made for the rims. Do two or three coats and I would follow it would 2 or 3 clear coats.

How are they holding in winter time? I'm not sure how long the paint will last though.

I'm thinking getting the rims powercoated instead of painting...probably will last longer and more durable.
