This is a kit a saw one Sat morning on some car show. It's suppose to give some "black chrome" look. I don't know exactly what that is suppose to look like. But I do know I never liked the old American Racing rims that came with the 5. I figured for 18 bucks I'd offer mine up as a test run.

Long story short; a couple hours cleaning them up of dirt and rust, put 4 coats on, waited a week (weather) and applied 4 coats of clear coat. Both came with the kit.

I like the look (better than before), looks like a metallic gun metal blue or something. My only concern is if they will start flaking. We'll find out.
