Just rattle can laquer.It gave good coverage though.I think they dont look that shiney cos they were taken in bight sunlight.Ill take a photo inside and post it soon to see what you think.

colour wise it will depend on the car colour! i wish i had of got mine done darker as it looks better when the wheels are dirty! i dont think they will look very dark on the car.....

They are going to be put on a garnet red car(in avatar)with window tints in the near future.So hopefully the whole car will have a dark theme set off by the metallic red paintwork
The colour is actually Ford graphite grey,it caught my eye and looked similar the darker volvo alloys with a bit of a twist!!
