Cool man. I ran the same setup on my car last summer (polished/black z28 wheels) People gave me alot of compliments, some actually thought it was an aftermarket wheel. I ran those until I could afford my Welds..

Heres a couple pics

You're right i didn't run any centercaps. I was going to paint them up black and put them on but never got around to it. Instead I just painted the hubs black to match

What would it look like to polish the inside of the spokes. Then use charcoal metallic or black to paint between the spokes? Just and idea.
