Leave them or chrome them. Don't jack those badass wheels up by painting or coating them.

yeah, that is true. you think you can pm me with info on where you ordered them from? i'm hesitant to go through a ebay dealer cause of a bad experience i had last month. lost a couple hundred dollars. anyways, your car looks great, keep the wheels! do some performance mods now and make it a even faster show car

I do not like any of them, reminds me of a pimp mobile from the 70's, not a sports car. To trampy for me. Sorry, no vote here.

hey are those hyper silver dark? or just hyper silver? i know you said they're hyper dark but I'm just checking. Haha, I guess I can't really tell how dark it is on your car. I want to do the same thing to mine but I though it would be darker. I say, either leave them as is or paint it black with some nice clear coat and leave the Hp center cap polished. Should match your front bird silver and the darkness of your car. Nice wheels man
