AW Msport LCI GOT THE M193 RIMS PAINTED BLACK

what do you think? The one thing I noticed is you can see the rotors so much more....I think it came out great...the best thing about it is the wheels can be dirty as hell and the black hides all the brake dust..

Looks good! A word of advise wipe on the tire shine so it will keep the wheel from so dirty.

Looks nice but the brake dust will still make it look dirty. Turn brownish i'd say.

Yeah it literally took me like 5mins to paint each corner. Just mask off the rotor with some newspaper and spray with some high temp black paint. overspray on the rotor would just get burned off once you hit the brakes so no worries.
