The white one above looks good. I like when the spokes are painted (or vinyl applied) making them look like 10 spokes...couldnt find pics but that makes them look better.

It was automotive paint bought from a local paint shop that mixes custom colors and stuff for the body shop around here. Expensive too! I think it was like $12 a can! Here is another set that I painted but sold.

I can paint them whatever ever color you would like. I don't kniow how long they would last though because I've never ran painted wheels on any of my cars before. But I have read of other lasting a real long time.

I know this threads a little old, hopefully some more of u guys have done different things with these wheels. I'm kicking around the idea of when I paint the white t/a again, do the wagons arctic white also. Anyone any suggestions or pics of white wagons?

Has anyone tried painting them black and leaving the lip silver, or even polishing it? I'm curious how it would look.

A pic from my old 99 Z28. I painted them a dark charcoal gray color to match my other accents on the car. I eventually went back to silver though.

In your opinion maybe. I think that they can look decent especially in chrome with the right stance. Although, I'm not a fan at all of flat black wagons or color/sticker accented..

That doesn't look too bad at all in my opinion, I might go that route instead of doing silver on silver.
Personally wagon wheels aren't my first choice but for the price I can't beat them, although I like them a whole lot on trans ams.

^^Same here. They weren't my first choice (torq thrust!) but I got the wheels basically for free with a brand new set of Vredstein Sessanta 295/245 tires. If money were no object sure I would've picked something else..but they really aren't that bad. Especially compared to the stock 16's with 235's..

That's exactly where I'm at, pay 1000 for the zo6 wheels I want or get these for 300 with brand new eagle f1 tires. It's a no brainer really.
