Default i have a question

i was thinking of some things to do to my car to make it more original. anyways i was considering taking my wheels down to have the inner spokes painted the same color as my pewter camaro.

basically the same thing the did for the 35th le wheels but on my zo6 wheels and painted with factory paint and cleared. just the inside, i will still have a machined finish to the outside and a polished lip.

any thoughts comments or suggestions?

What about hockey stick stripes? The color matched rims are a great idea too. Would def set it apart. And you already have a flawlessly clean SS. You don't have to do too much to stand out imo.

i think that black rims will be to plain for my taste, i like the polished look alot, so this would kind of mix it up.

i think your right, but i like subtle, as long as its clean, only the trained eye will grab it. then if its done right, it will look classy

too much black.


im also looking to get away from polishing my wheels often, after they get clear coated they will be like painted wheels, just wipe them off and they will shine like new. thats what i have always wanted with polished aluminum, but i didnt wanna buy that zoops crap or spend the money to have it just cleared, now ill get it painted and cleared, who knows, im just tossing around the idea, i think if done right it will look classy and nice, not ostentacious but nice
