Default Painted my wheels

Plastidip matte black with silver metalizer. I will soon powdercoat to this color.

Is that a real or replica vertex?

It's an eBay front lip. I don't think vertex makes a lip for 2011+.

Not a fan of black wheels on a white car, but it actually looks good,

Nice, can you write up your process? I'd like to try this on my wheels.

Thanks

Looks great. Nice pics. I love the low shots of our cars. I'm usually laying on the ground when I shoot my car.
