Agreed 18s usually look good, especially gunmetal and dg!

Maybe it's the spacers, but for some reason it looks so high. I have same 18s/DG e.t.c. and doesn't sit that high on stock springs...

As for the rims itself, looks decent. Always wondered how gunmetal would look on our color (considered it myself).

That front plate needs to go away fast. I don't care for the sprayed rims personally, but I suppose it doesn't look bad. I don't like the rebadge on the front either. Overall, not bad.

i dont remember the exact 'model number' of the paint, but the brand is "dupli-color". i bought it from autozone its called gunmetal for GM vehicles. The quality of the paint is really good though....i didnt sand anything, i first sprayed the rims with "plasti-dip" then did 3 coats of the gunmetal.

Don't waste money on springs is all I can say.

Spaced 18's look great slammed.

In fact after seeing your pics I may rattle can my black-up 18s gunmetal.
