I don't see why not, you would just have to scuff the hell out of them. It'd be a lot of prep work

anyone else care to chime in? or is this in the wrong spot ..

If they are in fact Genuine ZR1 I'd rather not fk em up and maybe sell them, but if they aren't then Game on.

my berger is murdered ive got a black hood and black headlights, my spare tails are blacked out and these look retarded being glossy.

the only reason it matters if they are real or not is I could sell them couldn't I? I thought genuine ZR1's aren't easy to come by?

Guess I'll just fk em up.

I've decided I don't give a **** if they are Real or not, They Came with the car and belong to me.

800 wet sand, rinse,1000 wet sand, Prime & rattle can paint ought to do it?

or is there a standard for painting wheels
