Surely any diy on painting wheels would do if you just use the paint you want??

I mean it doesn't necessarily have to be AP2 wheels, and black, for you to understand what to do?

Mask off tires, sand wheels, primer, paint, clearcoat. Not much else to it really.

if you want a flat black look dont clear coat it... even if you use flat black paint when you clear coat it, its gona be a bit shiny.
