Default Ideas on what I can do with these wheels.
I just got these wheels. I was tired of my old Z06 replicas and wanted a change. I picked these up. They are dull looking. Not sure what to do to them. I love the style of the rim and I know it will look bad *** but they need a little help. Shoot me some ideas on what I could do.

(please excuse the rusty rotors/calipers. Those will be taken care of as soon as I get a chance.)

Polish the lip, would be the normal. Or you could have some pinstriping done.

Get the sprayed gloss black, find center caps, get black lugs, and do a white pinstripe or lip

Leave the center satin black, paint the lip gloss black. Add a center cap.

New lugs
Center cap
Red pin stripe
Powdercoat the calipers red or do a CTS-V brake upgrade.

I have no idea what wheels they are. The guy I got them from couldn't remember what brand they were. Hell, I only gave 200 bucks for them with the tires that are in decent shape.

I think I'm gonna do gloss black.

Anyone with similar wheels know where I can get some center caps for em?

A polished lip would be my choice.
