Powdercoat them white, machine the lip and face of the spokes. Orange bowtie in the middle. It'll look like the 1991-1992 Camaro wheels. A buddy of mine has a 92 Z28 with these and they look awesome.

Of course I'm partial to leaving them silver...

I'm leaning towards the powdercoating white, machining the face and highlighting the lip in orange being an option...

to the OP, i was flirting with the idea of PC mine but a deal came up on my powdercoated tt2's. GL! I also wanted to have mine widened

as soon as my tires come in and i get my tt2's on. my ten spokes will be for sale. they have some good curb rash but nothing crazy. PM if interested

x2, I think the way they are is great. Not a fan of black wheels on a white car, however, given those choices: High Gloss Black Machined Lip

No, Just get them professionally shot gloss black. That's what I did, then applied my logo then clear. Cost me $50.
