i had the tires mounted wednesday from a local shop, i got home and installed them onto my car and realized they put 2 of the tires on backwards! such a nightmare, i went back to the shop today during my lunch hour at work and had them fix it. after i fix the scratched rim i'll be finally done with this project, it's take a lot longer than i thought it would.

now that my rims are almost done, i'm not sure what to do with my centre caps. i popped them out before painting my rims and they're just sitting on my shelf. should i leave them oem color? paint them to match? or just not put them on my car at all? they're the infiniti centre caps.

so here's come pics of the imperfections after refinishing my rims. they're very minor and spread out among the rims, i can live with them but next time i'm going to do a better job with the bondo and sanding
i guess i didn't sand the inside of this part well, it flaked as i was sanding my paint

i accidentally bumped into the edge of the rim with something as the clear coat was drying and left this white mark, couldn't get rid of it

Looks Good but I hope you used etching primer instead of regular primer...
