Default My Painted Rims

Sup guys,

I bought some rims from this guy but they were in sort of bad condition. So I got myself into a little project and decided to paint them gloss black w/ polished lip. Turns out the paint was black with tiny metal flakes (I like how it turned out) =] As for the lip, I think im gonna go with aluminum lip. I only finished two for now and will work on the other two next week. Oh yea I painted my grill the same color as the rims too haha.

Here are the pics, Let me know what you guys think...

Hey Strat-Blu

Where did you get that grill from? How much was it,..and do they have it for the Hatchback?

Every darn body part i find for the Mazda 3 costs an arm and a leg,...and i'f i'm gonig to throw that much money down,..i'm goin' turbo....(and i don't want to hear a peep from anyone about how bad turbos are, and how they wear down the engine, blah blah blah)

Thanks-
Kevin-
