I like the chrome on black better than painted.

Looks good though. I'd paint the centercaps to match.

Hey, all that matters is if you like them.

Personally, I think the chrome centercap looks wierd, I really think you ought to paint them black.

I think it looks good, I agree with the majority about the center caps though. The chrome lugnuts should be enough chrome in the center.

Looks good but I think it would look better with the centers painted black as well.

I like the chrome center cap. It goes well with the lip of the rim.

yea i will get you a close up but i am going to redo my wheels where they touch the lip because i dont like how it came out...not bad for a first attempt though...

The hood is getting painted soon..has to cure for 3-4 weeks according to VFN...

Once again thanks for the feedback but i am leaving the centers polished only way i will paint them is if i paint calipers red and then paint the cap black and put the red corvette stickers on the center caps
