I'm finishing up my car in the next few weeks, and I've run into a dilemma. Initially, I thought I would paint the centers of my wheels all black, now I'm not sure. What do you guys think?
Don't worry about the rake on the car, the engine is out. But it does give that crazy 70's hijacker look!
I like those with the offseted chrome spots, but whats up with the hieght? :D

I haven't gotten to lowering the car yet, and with the engine out and new shocks... :D

I'm thinking I like the all black ones. I never really liked wheels with multiples of 4, so having it blacked out looks good to me. More Porschy.

That is what I was thinking when I painted the rear. I've never liked the all polished look. I wanted something different. I see lots of cars that have the standard configuration, but few with any variation. I think I will finish them all in black, but I wanted to see everyones opinion.

I'd go with the solid black (or charcoal gray)... :agree:
all black or all polished IMO.

Well, I went with Satin Black and a polished lip. I haven't cleaned them up completely just yet, but I think they turned out well.

Black 2 Litres. Definately. You can't go wrong with yellow and black. :agree:
P.S.

Yeah, that's what you get if you get tires at Wal-Mart! I took it down to the tire shop just the other day and had them rebalanced. They were almost dead on with no weights. Ended up with a .5 on the back side. So much for Wally world tire balancing. :D
