Hubcaps or Painted RAlly wheels?

HEllo all, I am pretty much broke right now and am looking to improve the appearance of my camaro. Should I paint my 14" rally wheels to match my hugger orange stripes (when they are finished) or buy some chrome hubcaps?

Thanks,
Ryan

ya if i where u id personally go with the wheels, caps on 3rd gens look so tacky. Hey if ur intrested my friend has a set of the 15 inch 5 spoke camaro Z28 wheels. The 2 front tires are like new but needs back ones. 50$ u pay shipping. only 1 catch though, the wheels are gold. U can have them repainted and would look alot better than 14 inch rally wheels but its up 2 u. If ur intrested let me know and we can set something up......

In my opinion, wheels painted to match the car don't look that good. I would paint them silver.

Thanks FINE8T9 but I am going to save my "wheel" money for a set of 16" american racing torque thrusts.

THanks though,
