    Looks good, better than the green, but I think I like them the same this color as stripped. Your side skirts and trim are in serious need of paint!

    I think it looked better polished. Black wheels with chrome lips got old fast.

    yeah you guys didn't see how terrible they looked when they were "polished" because they were awful in person trust me...and I knew I'd never actually sand them all down and polish them so I figured I'd go with black...then added the flake to give them a little different look

    I'd paint that side trim that looks faded to hell!

    In the first picture, it looks like your door is aligned correctly.

    Ohh, You should try using a wire wheel to strip it if you haven't already. I used on my powder coated bike frame that a sand blaster couldn't even touch. You probably know this already though. I you want to do that I would help you out.

    i liked the polished 10x's better.
    black is a VERY last resort lazy mans color.

    when you a chance touch up your rocker panels and your side moldings with some flat black vinyl paint.

    then you shouldove spray painted them silver with the flaky clear coat. an all silver wheel with a good amount of clear will bling just like a fully polished wheel.... minus a few things but im sure you wouldove been happy with it
