Looks great, as you can see I too am a fan of black wheels.

I wish you just bought cheaper rims instead of painting these. I always liked these rims as they are.
The flat rims just don't look that good in black compared to moabs or cragars.

What did you paint them with?

eh, not my cup of tea ... if you like then good for you

To me, painted rims has rice cooker written all over it

Well now I'm thinking I might paint my limited rims to sell them. They're peeling big time. Look like crap.

I want these (when I do the suspension lift)

Is your limited rims the ones with plastic on them?
I have never seen anyone paint these, I assume it should be easy for paint to stick to since we can just sand them lightly and paint them with a few coats, basically tint them.

If I did not have tire pressure monitor, I would have gone with Soft 8s or other black steels when I bought my tires, they look great on KJ.

Thanks for you help Mr. Photographer since you know what is behind me.

You can tell that it wasn't because of the shadows;)

Did you paint your lugnuts too? or just not take the wheels off for paint :lol:

As I understand it, Cragar owns BlackRock but these wheels are cast in Ontario, California. Made in the USA baby! You get what you pay for. :wink:
