damn that's sweet!
finally someone went ahead and poainted them wheels gunmetal; that's exactly how the production car looked, except that it made it to the showrooms without the gunmetal wheels :-(

I had 1 car jack, no garage, and a small kitchen coverted into a spray room...took me 3+ hours per wheel, washed, sanded with 400 wet/dry, primed with dupli-colour sandable primer, sprayed with dupli-colour wheel paint (Graphite), and clear coated. Calipers used dupli-colour red caliper paint kit.
Its much much better than the stock and I am really really loving it. Took it out first thing this morning. Had a few positive comments as well...its definately worth it if you are keeping your stocks for the time being..till next summer when i get a house with a garage, i shall get my wheels...

Yeah, I took the rims off in order to wash it down properly and sand it. On top of that, I didn;t want to cover up my entire car and didn;t wanna risk overspray on it as well...I did my calipers at the same time as well...it is much easier this way.

Well if I ever decide to take my Ralliart home to garage it, if I go overseas, I'm from Hudson we'll have to take the RA's to Hampton beach  Looks good.
