They look great! Did you have the dreaded spoke corrosion - and what did it take to neutralize it before having them coated? Are they clear coated afterwards or is that not needed?
 
Looks nice, I like, but if I did that, it would look like poop, to much "rock loving" here in Colorado, lol
Does look sweet :bigok:
 
Looks good, lets see some shots where we can get the full picture. I just finished painting my FJ wheels, I was going to powdercoat them, but I figured they will get beat up off road and this is far easier to fix, so why not. I think it cost me about $9.50 per wheel not counting my time :D.

I also went for Satin Black over Gloss, I tried Semi-Gloss on a wheel, but I thought it was too shiny.

I like the satin black look you have there -- what type of paint did you use? Have you had any issues with it chipping/flaking off, or coming off when wheel cleaner is used?
 
It looks great, both the_josh's and BlairB's. IMO, what sets off the two different looks is the gloss and silver for the the_josh, while BlairB's got a dark color (Shadow) and satin black wheels.

the_josh,
BTW, is that a Prius V in behind you. I've never been a big fan of hybrids, but the 3rd gen Prius has changed my mind with it's low base price.
