They look really good.

You didn't mention anything about clear coat.

Wouldn't the wheels be less prone to chipping with some clear protection?

Anywho, great job!

Thanks! but yeah the clear coat is nothing but the the black in my case, since I did 3 of them, they should hold up well, also priming and sanding them will help in making the paint stick/last longer as well.
