I agree,
My summer street tires are mounted on alloy rims I painted flat black as well. Makes my silver insight look evil

You have to upload the pic to a site that will host them. Google for them. There are _many_ free sites. Then post the link of the uploaded pic.

There is the img function but many members don't read the rules in regard to pic size limitations and quantity (its as much a courtesy for those on dial-up as bandwidth usage of this site) and the post gets edited to the link only.

Nice photo Guillermo. The lighting shows up the detail of the body sculpting nicely. The black wheels look like you mean buisness, but I know that's the case in reallity.

Thanks Kip,
Black rims hide the brake dust very well
