What do you guys think?
Gonna paint my rims, but can't decide on how to paint them.




Or just leave them raw polish aluminum?

Thanks.

Re: What do you guys think?
I would paint them black. I would paint the wheel wells black again while I was at it too.

Re: What do you guys think?
Take your wheels off.
Paint your drums black
Tape off your tires and polish/paint the spokes silver. Paint the insides black again. Clear the entire wheel.
Get some chrome locking lugnuts
Hit the road and lose the white letters sometime in the future.

Re: What do you guys think?
I think i am going to use the rustoleum gloss black on mine. I did it before and i liked it, not to mention they cleaned up SO easy like that. Looked sort of nascar. Not that i even watch it, but i like the way it looks. I am having the rears just like yours widened to 10 inches so i can rock the 325/50/15s.
