I agree, leave them silver

Thanks fellas. I agree, leave them. I will in the future have them refinished back to new when I decide to paint car. I was looking to find a set somewhat period correct,, looking like a car you could have built in the late 90's*

Yes they are. I gave them a quick over, they just need a little more thorough love. Picked them up for 300.

they look sharp on the red for sure and that is a solid deal. if anything I would try a gun metal dip on the centers or something just to try it out but the brushed centers and polished lip look good with the red
