bronze oem rim

Spent the day sanding it down and painting it today, still got some more work to do. Got to sand down uneven spots cause i am a stupid painting on somewhat windy day lol. then got to paint 2-3 more layers and clear coat it.

good job! looks great. make sure the tireshop knows how to mount tires without scraping the rim.

Arisen, I love the bronze look on the VBP, VERY CLEAN. But how come you didn't paint the center caps, I think it would look better?

Would've had to do some serious masking to save the "H"s, or go and find some vinyl ones and paint the caps, put the "H" then clear over it and it was already a 2 day job so I just said "f-it." It looks kinda weird in the pictures but in person between the oem lugs and the center cap it flows pretty well. I'll see how I feel come Spring time, been thinking about just getting aftermarket wheels too but kinda would rather spend my money else where.
