Just painted my rims in -1 degrees weather

I bought 2 bronze Drag rims to go drag racing. It was very hard to find some used 17X8 rims but I happen to drop in by my rim guy and he had 4 good ones but one was cracked and damged so I convinced him to sell me two

I started looking for steel rims but they were too expensive so I found these 18lb light weight rims. They looked good but seeing that my car was satin black and silver I decided to go with the satin black. It's below 0 degrees here but I was bored so I still painted it. Let me know what you all think of the black vs the bronze. All I need now is my 2 drag radials and i'm good to go.

They say you shouldn't paint in warm weather but I guess I proved them wrong...

After

below 0 degrees is warm weather to you? lol I'm sure you meant cold or at least I hope so. Honestly I wouldn't care what the weather was like as long as its not wet I'd paint them too. Will take a little longer to dry but oh well If your bored does it really matter to watch paint dry lol

If those are for the car in your sig I like the satin black better good job

Zero in Canada isn't the same as the Zero in the US. That's freezing temperature here. Ya'll use Fahrenheit and we use Celsius...

Compared to my 350Z rims it is. Besides for $110 that's light. Didn't have to pay and arm and a leg for it. The bronze did look good but I have a two tone car so I doubt it would of gone good with the concept.But thanks for the feedback

It came out better than I expected and it's can spray so when it chips os get scratched up I'll just scuff it down and re-paint it. Can't wait to start the poject.
