Looks great man. I am going to be doing the same exact thing real soon. Was it very hard? And how long did it all take?

It's not hard at all, just time consuming and a little tedious with all the sanding/taping. Should take you about 4-6 hours for all wheels, considering you work fast lol. Take your time though, make sure you sand well.

Looks good, I did a similar thing to the 16" wheels I bought with my drag radials so they would match my black bullitts up front better. I like the silver lip and the all black spokes you did.
