Default Painted the wheels

Decided to change the wheel color on my '30 CCPU from cream to black. I also painted the wheels with the tires on the rims. I hit the wheels with a wire wheel on a drill, then used a Scotch Brite pad to get all the loose stuff off. I then blew the entire wheel off with a blower, used denatured alcohol to clean them, then primed and painted them. I also found out that placing a nickel in the lug holes is the exact same diameter of the hole so it worked out that I didn't have to worry about paint getting in them. I've attached some pictures of the process and of the vehicle with both the cream and black wheels.
