Look nice but going to look crap once you get a few stone chips on them.

yea sprayed them myself,there abit fiddly here and there,didnt need to take my tyres off as they have a polished lip,just used halfords aerosols buddy,sanded them down till they were matt,4 coats of primer ,sanding down between each coat,then 6 coats of paint again sanding down between coats,then 4 coats of laquer...hope this helps..cheers james
