i painted some rims because they were all rusty and nasty.
i painted them silver, but i really like the look of the graphite paint. I might just repaint mine

I like it! It kind of reminds me of a little lighter version of the Teflon rims that AR has been producing (and others I'm sure). Cheap way to liven some old wheels up.
