used a rattle can...rustoleum gloss black

im not gonne lie this is not a great paint job...these rims are temporary until i get some bigger tires and some lift, i just gave them a good clean with some steal wool and sprayed them up.

apparently there is a very good write up on how to do it in the tech section, even has a video...check that out for sure if you wanna do a very nice long lasting job

check that, there's a link in this thread
