I kind of like it.
What kind did you use-DupliColor? I have done white, and yellow. To be honest, it is MUCH, MUCH easier with the wheel off the car. I redid mine when I did the front brakes (and painted the caliper yellow) and when I painted my drum yellow. Sadly, the paint does not last that long. I forgot to do something that does seem to help-wash the area with alcohol first. I dont know if there is any type of clear paint that we could put on to protect the lettering. Maybe clear nail polish or varnish??? I would hate to use a chemical that harms the rubber on the tires, though. Looks are secondary to performance.
My tires are getting a little worn, and I look forward to getting some nice white letter raised tires-probably BF Goodrich Radial TA's. Then, the yellow should go on easier, show up better, and last longer on the white background.

The inserts were painted by me. Wheels look great when clean, but since they are not chrome, the front are a mess due to brake dust. I just put on new pads that are low dust, so hopefully things will improve.
