Seen it, but I think it would look bad *** if you leave the inner part of the rings on the circles cut out (hope you know what I mean) polished and then get polished lugs and center and it would look bad *** and nobody esle would have it.

yea.. I think I get what your saying.. some polshed accents on the wheels. I just saw a pic of some black pro stars.. Not too shabby. I have a thing for black wheels. But I'm thinking the pro stars may be better looking left the way they are..

Pro Stock drivers have been painting at least one of their front wheels black for years now. It helps them with more accuracy at the staging beams.

Look at this year's paint scheme for the Mopar Pro Stockers...all of their wheels are black:



There aren't any photos available yet (that I could find), but Greg Anderson and Jason Line had their front wheels painted black at Columbus. They're not Pro Stars, but they are a "star" pattern. They didn't look bad painted black.

OK, I just realized that the prostars are the 5 spoke wheels, I was thinking the ones with a bunch of circles cut out. Still center part of the wheel spokes (the triangle part) left polished would look good. But ya, left alone might be best.

I think they look ok, really depends on the color of the car.

Black only works on certain colors. My NBM is NOT one of them.
