Re: black rims
looks pretty good and will probably hold up pretty well. if it doesn't Dupli-color makes a nice "high performance wheel coating that holds up real well. like $6 a can...

Re: black rims
it was duplicolor, but they didnt have the wheel paint so i went with engine paint for high heat. figured that should hold up well.

Re: black rims
I suggest some tire shine and take some new pictures, it's tough to really appreciate the wheels when the pictures are blurry.

Re: black rims
Color matched spoke wheels were never my fave. I think something along the lines of the old 88-91 solid rims painted the same as the car or the aftermarket equvalent would look better. You reallly did a good job on it though.
