    I am going to repaint the centers on my factory rally wheels. I was thinking of using satin black as opposed to flat black. Does anyone know about what type of paint should be used? Thanks, Brian:confused:

    Brian,
    I used Rustoleum Semi Gloss Black on mine. They come out a little shiny but as time goes on they dull out to the satin look.
    I am very pleased with the way mine came out:grin:
    Make sure you sand them down as best as you can get it.

    sounds good. I will be taping off the chrome w/ dust tape and using my sandblaster to do the centers , the back of the centers,and the inner portion where the tires mount. Hopefully they will look good! I scored them off of ebay for 25 dollars each! Pretty good considering some are going for 450 a set (which is waaaayy too much).Decent chrome and they even have nice center caps! Got lucky this time I guess. Brian
