i like it like that, with the center caps still chrome, gives a nice contrasted look to it....just get some chromed lug caps to go with it, and it will finish the look nicely

Looks pretty good. I would have painted the insides of the wheel black.

Nice, black center cap with a silver or red outline bowtie would finish it off beautifully.

it took 2 weeks b/c i did alot of it in my free time, and on weekends. i stripped all of the paint off of the rims, then sanded it down, and repainted it all the way up from bare metal...
