Flat Black Stock wheels
So I decided the other day to flat black my stock wheels...cost about $20 in cans from duplicolor...came out pretty good but tell me your guys opinion....also tinted the tails and cut out the brake lights. Next I am going to black out the roof

I love this car. I've always been thinking about selling my rims and going back to black stockies and never did anything about it, and next month I will prob do this.

Super clean car.
