looks dandy. what did you use for the logos? tremclad, touch up paint?
did you remove the logo first, if so how, and finally did you consider spraying them with a krylon clearcoat for longer life and less touch ups?
I had considered doing the same thing but i couldn't figure out how to get the cap off and didn't feel like scuffing the rims prying away with a screwdriver at 3 am.

Yeah - i just used good ol tremclad rust paint.. I'm a little worried though cuz i'm not entirely sure that the paint has a good hold on the plastic (seeing as it's for metal), so if it peels off next time i take the high pressure wash to it, i'll get some proper plastic paint and re-do them.
Didn't think about spraying clearcoat on but thats a groovy idea.
To take the caps off - take off your wheel, and push it out from behind. Just pops out - no sweat. I just tapped it out with my tire iron.
The real pain in the *** was masking off the logos to keep paint from getting on them. That was a one night project right there.

The center caps remove very easily. You remove the rims from the car, and push them out from the inside. If you try to pry them you'll scratch them. They just pop right out if you push them from the backside.
