I'm a cheap Bastard. I spent $5.99 on a can of flat black and I haven't had any problems in over a year.....

Nope, I took one of those Roto,Dremil things and routed them out.

So for I've had them on a year or so and I have and any problems.

I did scratch it once, but just shot it with some more paint...

I plan on doing my wheels in black also. Planning on going powdercoad for the durability. Also going with a color-matched (Brandywine) double pinstripe around the perimeter, both sides, and whitewalls. In my mind, this looks pretty hot.

I am a fan of the blackpowder coat. And Ive seen the pinstripe wheels before, it should look fine as "Brandywine" when done. I am running 18 wheels, so no whitewalls available, but i would love them.[/align][/align]
