Post pics of your painted wheels

Hey guys, post some pics of your painted wheels. Im thinking of painting mine or buying some colored ones. I just wanted to get some ideas or see if I should stick with chrome. Thanks!

Yeah I saw a guy on here do the same thing but he left the rims and center caps chrome. I wonder what the salad shooters would look like with another color other than black or white. Its a pretty cheap fix until you can afford some nice rims.

Agreed....I really think a graphite color would look good. The problem was the black was darker than the actual tire. Also all black rims look the same while moving...
I just got another 94 z28 and I am going to throw a coat of graphite on these wheels pictured above this weekend....I'll post up some pics if they look 1/2 way decent.

Nice wheels zack. I like how you left the lip chrome. Wonder if you had a black camaro, did some red stripes and then painted the wheels black with a red lip??
