On the black car those are tops! Good Job.

I think it looks great. Can you expound on how you painted it? I saw the pic where you taped off the rest of the wheel, but what type of paint did you use. Did you clearcoat?

Wow! That's a lot more positive feedback than I thought...thanx everyone! The process is obviously quite straight forward...it takes about 45 minutes each to thoroughly clean and mask them off, then 1 coat of acrylic metal primer, 2 coats of gloss black enamel and 2 coats of acrylic clear. Took me about 6 hours total including mount and dismounting of rims and dry time. I hear a lot of people complain about the Mach 1 rims and I kinda agree that on certain colors it really doesn't work, but on a one color, darker shade, they can look good, and with the black they're that much better, imo. Thanx guys!! Todd

Time for some smoked headlights.

Meh - I kinda like the clear ones on mine as my car being dark green needs a little 'flash' to brighten it up...but on almost all other colors I agree..the smoked looks smooth! todd
