I used filler primer because of the imperfections the wheels had, didnt really sand em down or prepped them much because im pretty sure i wont have the wheels for long lol

After 3 light coats of paint, oh and i used GRAPHITE (color) for the paint, didnt clear coat them because i didnt want too much of the glossy look :p
