Default Thinking of painting wheels

I'm thinking of painting my wheels with duplicolor. i've seen some of you have had some success with this but does anybody have any pics of a pewter camaro with black or graphite rims. I don't really know what would look better, i'm torn between the two.

A friend of mine has a silver SS with the gun metal ZR1's and it looks dam good. I know your car is pewter but silver isn't far off. Black might be the better route for pewter though. Just my .02.

Yeah I'd say black on the pewter would be the best bet. Also a flat black Berger Panel and a Black billet Grille would compliment the wheels and some dark tint.

Your timing is perfect. I just painted my wheels. Check my thread on this in Wheels & Tires forum.

Spend a few extra dollars and get them powdercoated, save money and headaches down the road
