Shot the rims in black

So, I decided to paint my rims from Gun-Metal Grey to Semi-Gloss black. I think it looks much better! Don't be afraid to comment

Now you just need to do the nuts too. Never liked chrome nuts with black rims. Did you mask the seats where the nuts contact the rim? I love the look of black rims on a silver car though. Good job.
