i think their decent compared to before. good job on the rash, although like others said. im sure if you were to do it again, it would be better.

I for one have painted stockies, and yes when they mount and balance the rims, their will be chips especially around the lip. i dont know how much coats of paint you have on there but i will chip after time. I even sprayed mine with clear so, for the first months enjoy. but they will get beat up when it comes to your year mark.

Good Job again.

i think it looks fine. if people are expecting the wheels to appear professionally done, then you obviously didn't read what the OP said. for 70 bucks, it's not bad AT ALL. and i see no over spray at all on the rims. it's a quick fix to something that prolly irritated him and it was cheap. and you'll be seeing my IS at SLU bro. i have to commute. : P

and when you paint the tires next time, take some thick paper (notecards, etc) and stick it in between the rim and the tire. much easier than wrapping the whole thing.

I guess this is the next best thing to buying some new rims but I wouldn't do it.

I love that quicksteel, saved my friends and I lots of money!
