yeah no prob

im not a big fan of polished lips

but if you want to just get blue painters tape and tape it off

it should work out fine

a helpfull hint

sand A LOT

everything sticks better and looks better

i sanded then washed em off then dried them

3 coats of black sandable primer then 5 coats of the wheel coating

you will need a can for each wheel

definatly do that drop too man!

looks great!

well i talked to one of my buddies that does powder coating and were gonna powercoat mine this weekend i just have to prep the rims which means ALOT of sanding which in other words means PITA. but the powdercoating should be more durable than the spray paint so im goin for it

I agree with the polished lip. I love the black with polished lip look on darker cars.

I think gunmetal would also look very nice with your car color. Wash, you should do up a photoshop with a gunmetal paint. Just an Idea. Black is good too.
