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" />

Re: Got an idea! I always liked the Grand Sport look. Black wheels with a machined or polished lip.

Re: Got an idea! 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" />

Re: Got an idea! 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" />

Re: Got an idea! 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

Re: Got an idea! 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.

Re: Got an idea! 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" />
