OEM wheels are sprayed charcoal now, one was badly curbed prior to my ownership and a change was welcomed.

Joe, this is by far the nicest looking setup you have had so far. I would add a set of black depo's and leave it just the way it is. Looks so simple and clean, I give it a big thumbs up!

I'm def going the same route with my stockers after seeing your pics.

Thanks! I like it, also plan to tint the front windows, don't know how I've put that off for so long. Depo's may come soon, I do agree this look needs such.

80 grit and a DA cleaned the curbage out of the bad wheel, I followed up with 180, touched up some small flaws on the others with that, then I went over each rim with 320.

The paint is labled charcoal, but it's gunmetal, dk. gray, graphite, whatever you want to call it. No metallic, a nice even satin finish. I was going to spray them in the booth with the gun and works but am giving this is a shot first. The paint is made by SEM and is a product actually in their "bumper coater" line which of course has awesome adhesion and lays really nice and even. Should be rather durable too given it's purpose.

Just brought down the front 5/8" or so to bring back my slight raked look. Looks a lot better!
