Getting CCW's refinished
Getting CCW's refinished Trying to decide whether to go with polished (currently) or get them powdercoated either black or have the centers done a bronze-ish color and the lips polished. My Z is pewter, I'll post a pic of my car later today but right now I wanna knows first opinions on the options.
Yes I have classics, sorry for not clarifying.
I haven't had them done yet, I'm throwing my options out to get opinions before I get them done. I once saw a white C5 that had some with the centers bronze with a polished lip and they looked incredible.

I really like the polished/chrome look on pewter. I had chrome rims on my old Pewter Camaro and I think it went well. Your bronze idea sounds like it could look good too and it would def be different.

Take it from someone with a pewter TA; leave them polished. Don't get me wrong, black would look good, but not as good as polished. Plus, if you ever want to do black, buy some Plastidip and go to town on them. It's not perminent, so you don't have to worry about it if you end up not liking the black.
These are an older race version, before they started the lightening holes. Therefore they can't accept centercaps. 
I like the plastidip idea but have no clue how to execute it correctly.
So the idea of pewter centers isn't a good look?

Pretty sure plastidip is in a rattle can and can be easily peeled off when no longer wanted. I think pewter centers might be too much but then again Ive never seen anything like it. I just dont think you can go wrong with a clean polished look on any color car.
I wish I could Photoshop my car with ideas to see what it would look like. Most likely I'll stay with polished, especially if I can't make a definitive choice on color.

what about being the first to try pewter and color match the centers of the rims to your car. if you don't like it, you can always fall back on a satin black to match your rear panel which IMO would look amazing on the pewter car....leave the lips polished regardless though
It a tough decision, I have always wanted originality with my wheels. I guess actually having classics is pretty original cause you don't see them much outside of drag packs. Does anyone have Photoshop to place pewter centers on the wheels to see what it looms like?
