   Lol i was going to do the same but recently got a dimma grille and sprayed it gloss black and got great sense of acheivment so want to carry that on with the wheels now plus i only paid 92 for my vts alloys thought that was a bargain not to be sniffed at

   if theyre not on your car and you have another set of wheels to use whilst spraying them, take your time! the only reason i am probs gunna buy them already done is because i cba doing it 1 wheel at a time haha

    Spray them indoors !!!!!!!
    
    you will get a better finish and if you spray them outside you will have loads of dead flys and bits of shit in the paint.

    Spray them inside if you can, I've got a carpool and a garage so I'm fine. If you have to spray them outside then try to do it where the wind wont affect you as much, this avoids shit getting on them cause of the wind.
