I just used regular gloss enamel spray-paint. I didn't even remove the tires when I painted them just too lazy! I just do occasional touch-ups once in a while for chipping. Cheers!

I did the same thing to my aluminum rims and my extra set of steel rims. Used cheap flat black paint though. Can't believe how much power I lose running the steel rims compared to the aluminum rims. They're the same size but one steel rim weighs approx. 10 more lbs. than the aluminum one.

very cool i did the same thing to my runner ( with gloss black ) left the tires on also . I like your paint job on the bottom mind if i copy did you have to tape anything off down there

I'm glad that you liked it guys! I didn't tape off anything underneath (too lazy), just spray it on and that's it! I also plan to paint some parts under the hood with different colors to make it look better.
