OMG that color looks amazing. I liked the chrome wheels better with the shiny paint but the painted black wheels sure don't look bad, if they had some gloss I think that would really help. awesome job fixing up the car, really beautiful result.

I agree I like the old rims better, but it's not my car

Looks beautiful! I love the end result. The 6000k lights and the tint with the black wheels make it looks really mean.
