The White sucked. Sucked. Never get white wheels. Graphite is really easy to keep clean and looks better than dirty white.

I used duplicolor wheel paint. 2 cans primer, 4 cans paint, 4 cans of clear (you won't want to spray with a can after it is 2/3 empty because it comes out out uneven).

I find that you want to do lighter coats of paint then 1 light clear and then one heavy clear coat so that you get a glossy finish when it self levels.
