Nice job on the hubs.....but why steal the metallic black? 
Maverick007 was actually the first with metallic black wheels.

Oh he painted those as a joke? HAHA! Thats ******* awesome! **** I'd roll with smurf hub caps if I had rims coming in the mail.
Anyways all of the caps are 100% done! Now what should I do?
Wait till tomorrow and give the 'Balt a nice bath before I put em on.
OR
Put em on now and wash my car in a week? (paint needs to cure)
I couldn't resist I had to put em on.
I think some daylight pics will do them better justice. I need to give my tires a good scrubbing too.
So....
Opinions on the finished product?

its not the opinion, its the additude. Its just gay when everyone picks up an additude of "dude, your stupid for even thinking that", even if they dont say those words
im sure most people can agree with me about that

saying "that doesnt look that good" or "i wouldnt do that to my car" is different than saying "hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah a hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahah ahahahaha..........ohhh.........hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha "

I did that on my Old G6, Hated the look of steelies, and no cash for rims, Woulda kept them silver, but they had some road rash........lol I did a rush job tho, ended up taking them off because of the abuse from people. They said it looked like a cop car lol.

That looks great, man! When I was thumbing through this thread between your brief updates and the hater-ade, I honestly didn't have much hope for you, but you did a great job on the hubcaps! I would've done that with my winter hubcaps, but my '05 just has solid steelies behind them and my stock wheels couldn't pull off the rim look like yours can.
Good job, tho!
