New Rims - Need Opinions

[DJz]

I purchased a set of rims and tires on craigslist for $140, 4 ****ty tires and the rims were spray painted black.



I wanted to re-finish them because the black spray paint was chipping so i used paint stripper and sanded them down til they were smooth. heres what they look like now



I need to repaint them in order for them to be finished, but im tossed up between black spokes with chrome lip or gunmetal spokes with chrome lip. Any opinions are welcome.

A few questions I have...

What size are the rims?

What color is your car?

Why no 3rd option? Lol

leave them silver, just clear over the top of them.

Gunmetal or just clear them.

Bio, i love the color but i dont think a clear coat would hide all the imperfections.

Joe, I like the idea. Ill have to look some up with that color

Gunmetal with polished lip. Heck just do something and have a polished lip.

The sanding is done. I sanded them all down til they were smooth so i didn't have any paint chipping.

I like them being silver with the car being darker.

that's why i say what i do. being darker is just going to take away from them. leaving them silver will make them pop and actually look their size.

I would say something like this, but I'm not sure if this is possible with those wheels.

 

[Bio248]

you cant get a good polished lip and colored center without having at least 2 piece wheels. it never looks good.

just an idea, but all bronze or gold I think would look good.
