So I pulled out my Comp G wheels from storage and decided matt black wasnt cutting it... I also came across a pair of Michelin Pilot Arctic Alpen PA3's for the front end at my local tire shop... got em used with 60% tread installed and balanced for 120.00 :)

Im running with nearly brand new Nexen's on the back.

I have a bout 2 hours into painting all 4 rims and shining up my tires.

Here are some pics:

Got the Michelins on, but rims are dull and you can see where the wheel weights were. Dont really look like anything special right??
Image

Pro Grade Tremclad Gloss Black Enamel...
Image

Pair of Michelins with Rims after paint (I painted all four, the other two not showing) and before tire dressing...
Image

My favorite tire dressing. Very little tire sling and easy to clean off as its water based and not silicone based...
Image

Centers back on and nice and shiny... ;)
Image

Lookin good now. Im actually excited to get them on the car tomorrow!!

That would look sick, and with the plastidip there is no serious risk of ruining them
