I’m not a fan of black wheels, but it does look like you did a very good job painting them. The wheel area looks good with the red calipers.

Why are your rear wheels so far forward in the wheel openings?
I hear y'all on the cost of powder coating these days. It's gotten ridiculous. and most shops have gotten greedy and don't even do full prep anymore. They just coat over whatever finish was already on the wheel. Pretty sad for upwards of 500 dollars or more.
In the last year I've painted and cleared two sets of wheels at less than half that cost.

edit: I just went out and looked at it and in person it looks even on both sides. Maybe shadows throwing it off in the picture
