Cool, I just did mine today exept I just left the lip unpainted.
I didn't have the patience to do just the bottle-cap part like you and Digital wave did. :oops:

I think I like it better, I'm not sure thought. :?

anyone got a writeup on this and what paint to use? I'm guessing the process is to scuff up or sand the centers then spray with flat or semi gloss high temp paint

exactly

I used Universal Black engine paint on my rims, with Aluminum engine paint on the lips. I just did a crappy job masking and sprayed them. I didn't even use primer. They have held up good. I sanded the rims a little, and used a dremel tool to remove the curb rash.

Use a lot of clear coat if you use them, engine paint wasn't made to be washed so much so its starting to wear.

I personally think they look better when you just do the spokes, and leave the dish+lips alone.

anyone done gunmetal color rather than black? id like to see a few pics of that if possible, anyone? thanks,

EDIT: and a write up would be SWEET! I hate my bottlecaps...
