Took these over the summer after I got back from Silver Lake. Some of you wanted to see it after i got the black rims so here ya go. Next im getting the blingstar graffiti graphics kit. My back left rim is scratched because my buddy drifted into me at the lake haha. But what do you think? be honest.

It would look better if you did it right. You can't just spray paint anything, you have to sand it and scuff it first. The acid in the paint will bite to the scratches. By the look of all the chips in the paint, there was no paint adhesion. Same reason they sandblast before powdercoating too.

I sanded and roughed them up really good. Even put a primer base coat on them. I actually did an awesome job on these things. Those chips, are from me hitting rocks in the woods with them, and my buddy creamed me pretty bad as silver lake. All black rims chip when you hit something though. My dad just bought a brand new king quad, with less then 10 hours on it, it had some chips

Powercoat them. I wouldn't paint anything on my bike.
