Gloss Black RX-8 Rims
Hello,
I purchased RX-8 rims with Dunlop tires from a member of this club. I painted the spokes gloss black with VHT wheel paint and used VHT clear coat. I will install them on my black Mazda 6 Sport Wagon next month when the weather warms up a bit. I can't wait, they look amazing!

I normally don't like the shinny tire look but with those rims, I would definitely shine my tires up as well.
From your photos it looks like you did a pretty good job masking things off. I would have been way to scared to even try.

Ps. as someone else mentioned, thank god you didn't do a completely black rim. Those always look bad.

Very nice!! Did you paint the inside of the spoke also? or just the face? Also, you should paint the wheel center cap and lug nuts black also. Very nice,
