Painted my wheels
Felt like switching up the color scheme a little so decided to paint my wheels. Old look we're the white face. New look face is liquid copper and the lip is black with gold pearls. Still have to finish painting the inner barrels and lugs but you guys get the idea. Positive and negative feedbacks welcomed... I happen to like the way they came out. These are crappy camera phone pics I snapped real quick at work.

Dude, that looks awesome! The white didn't look bad, however this looks a lot better! It must have been difficult to paint the two tone copper and black, however it worked out really nice

I've never been a fan of the 'dumped' or 'stanced' setups, and I've always been partial to white wheels on blue cars, so in my opinion - I like your old setup much more, however you did a good job on the painting.
Again, personally not my overall taste, but I can definitely appreciate the time and effort put into it, OP. Nice work.

I do like the white wheels, but the copper/black combo goes really well with the rest of the car (windows, lip). The gold flake looks great and must really pop with the copper face in person.
Huge fan of DIY so props on that. I repainted one of my IS wheels with rattle cans which didn't go so well but recently picked up a compressor and HVLP sprayer so I'm curious what brand of paint/top coat you used?

pretty slick paint job chief 
i liked the white on blue better but this looks good too and like you said pictures dont do justice lol.
i think some black lugs with spikes and a black center caps would make the wheels pop more.
also now you gotta be super super careful not to scratch them black lips lol
