Quick, Cheap and Easy Rim mod!
For those of you interested, It was decided over the long weekend that the 17"s on my brothers Calibra would look "fully better" if they were the latest craze black with polished rim...
For the cost of a can of black spraypaint from supercheap and an arvo's work... the results are awesome I reckon... we followed the instructions out of an old autosalon mag issue from memory... It obviously isnt gonna work on every style of rim but in this case... definitely looks tha bomb!  Before:  After:

Will See if I can scan the article and post it up...
We did sand the wheels before paint but haven't clear coated them yet... We haven't sanded back the lips yet so they are still a bit dirty... but here is a closer up shot:
