Smile winter rims--pics
So I've been browsing the forums here since I got my baby in August. I just got through painting up my winter rims and getting them mounted and realized I haven't posted any pics of the car. Basically thought I just get some ppls opinions of the rims.

As I said, haven't posted any photos here yet so hopefully this will work.

Looks great! I'm almost ready to start painting mine. I have one wheel left to scuff up than its time for paint. I'm hopeing to finish them up this weekend.

I couldn't find wheel paint so just bought Duplicolor normal automotive paint, do you guys think this will work just as well?

Its all Duplicolor stuff. I was torn on whether to use the self etching but since I bought the rims used and they had a couple of dings I went with the filler primer.
