    Although I like the old gold, they actually look pretty sweet blue. Nice work, man.

    I like the gold better. It's old, but tried and true. The blue looks a bit tacky.

    Its ugly because its not your usual black or gold finish. Lets the flamers flame but way to stand out from the crowd. +1 for a clean ride.

    IDK I don't think I will ever like blue wheels on anything. It looks like a well done paint job so

    i tend to paint my wheels when i get really bored... they've been gunmetal, black, gold, and now blue... i'm running out of options!

    green maybe? ...no.

    It doesn't look bad, but with my experience from painting wheels, they're much harder to clean. And did you happen to paint the inside of the wheels too? Looks great.

    You know, using note cards between the rim and the tire is WAY easier and works better lol.

    it took me about 30 mins per wheel. prepping the wheel is a pain, but its worth it in the long run.

    edit: i've painted them 4 times now, so i'm starting to get the hang of it.
