rim ideas I have the 17*9 polished aluminum wheels. I am getting some curb rash fixed and getting them repolished. When I get them back Im going to clean the inside and get rid of the black stains from road grime and brake dust. Once this is done can I have them shot with a new coat of clear or not. Also what to you guys think it would look like if I painted the inside of my wheels to match my car it's sunset orange. Im thinking of painting them and the calipers. Or I might paint the calipers orange and the inside of the rims black. Give some advice on what you think would work the best.

Unless, it's a garage queen/show car, then go for it.
clean them up and clear them. i would also polish your calipers and put a high temp clear on them too, thats what i did with mine and that really looks the best behind the 02 wheels. and nice car. gotta love sunset orange

I did my calipers in SOM Paint with high temp clearcoat. They turned out very nicely. I just need to do the backs and then it will be ****.
