Nice...you did a really good job.....i like it.

I tought about doing that but backwards...the front in black and leave the outside line, inner side of spokes,lugnuts and cap in silver....but wasn't sure how it would look...now I see it looks very nice...so I might do that until I can buy my black 20" rims

I have some one that could do it ..how much you think it will cost?...or how much you think he should charge me...i dont wanna end up overpaying for the job.

Materials coct about $30.00 Labor took about 5 hours.Used fine line tape to mask outline of spoke ,then masked rest off.Ifyou could help with the making you can save a few bucks .Wouldnt be surprised if a shop would charge 300.00 and up.

liking top one all black with chrome lip.wanting to buy all black with chrome lip latter on.Did you photo shop stock rims ?If so top one should be easy to do since you only need to tape outer lip part.Lower one looks pretty good too.
 
Wow you have a steady hand. Not my cup of tea but I give you a :bigok: regardless.

I plan on painting the entire rims myself within the next few weeks.
