Default Got an idea!

Instead of spending money on new wheels, I was thinking about possibly just painting the spokes on my wheels black. You can't really see the spokes, but you get the general idea. Opinions appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I was contemplating this myself, when/if I get new
wheels. Looks nice. Go for it.

Please do it and take lots of pics! I've thought of this before but didn't know if it would look good or not.

That is basically the same idea that I once had, and did! (different wheels though) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
<img src="http://www.tk14ss.cz28.com/images/mvc-004wx.jpg" alt=" - " />
Go for it! It's a great way to go and save the money, and most of all... be a little different!

Check the link in my sig for more pics

Looks great. I also drive my Formula in the winter, but I use a cheap set of wheels for that.

Thanks for the replies and pics guys. I have an extra set of tires too, but that pic was from last year, before I had my snow tires. Here are the snow tires. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

How hard would it be to paint a set of the silver painted wheels, I have nice Boyd wheels for summer, but I HATE the stock wheels that came with my 00 Z28 that I use for winter and was thinking about painting them black so you couldn't even see them

It was actually really easy. I just washed them really good, primered them with Krylon primer and then sprayed them with Krylon gloss black. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> You really have to look close to see that they're not powdercoated.

I know it's just a couple of black holes, but here is an idea of what it would look like! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
