Well, we finally got a nice, warm, sunny day today.
So I left work at noon, came home and painted the inside of my wheels.
I started this project back in October, but put it on hold when the outdoor temp dropped below 40F.
 
If you want to see what I did, look at my Car Domain pics here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/819487/12
 
Note my new tires!!!Big%20smile

Wow looks pretty good Clap  Mine really need to be done.  So what did you do to prep them before painting?  Tires look awsome also.cilrah2007-04-20 19:33:05

That's what I want to do with mine,too! Except I'm gonna paint mine with the same color as the car, and do the centers that way too, instead of the black. Looks gud, Dave!
