Default Too tight is bad. But black is good.

Removed my wheels to rotate my tires. While I had them off, I changed the look. I'm very happy with it. Makes the car look less dated. I used plasti-dip so it's 100% reversible.

On a side note, the previous owner or the shop he used put the lug nuts on so damn tight that I broke a stud. I'll get that fixed very soon.

I like it. Thanks for leaving the barrel silver. When they get done all black you lose the tire in the rim and it just looks weird.

how did you mask of the outside ring? did you tape it or just cut and peel it off?
