thumbs up from me. but i think some black 5 spoke wheels with a polished lip would look better.

color match them to the car.  or do what i was thinking for mine.  paint the whole surface (minus the lip) mask the top, cut the holes out and spray the insides a different color.  I was thinking...  Face: black
Insides: red
for mine

Face: lt blue
Insides: black or silver
Would sound cool for yours

I got the idea from the old Richard Petty GTP cars.  I think they did the front in lt blue and internals red.

tough to go wrong with cross-laces...

i do like 92wbody442's suggestion though.

[Prospeeder]

i dont see how the hell youd paint just the face and just the inserts, I could see painting the whole thing then sanding off the face of the wheel, giving that RPE look

[92wbody442]

spray the whole surface of the face the color you want to see on top.  mask off the face after it's dry and cut out the holes.  you've now covered the face color.  spray the inside of the face the second color.  Voila! Dual colored wheels.

takes a little time to do but, well worth the effort.  Did it to my old Beretta Gt a long time ago.  Wish I still had the pics to scan.  Well b4 digital cameras.

I think it looks good, only suggestion I could make is sanding the chrome trim rings and painting them body color, along with the cantercaps.

that looks best

[94CutlassVert]

that does look good but i like the polished luck mabey i could do a blue pinstripe along the edge though

[92wbody442]

that's a good idea!  even better would be to get them anodized in blue.

I can show you pics of my white Vert with the black crosslaces.  These are the TGP 16 X 8 done black with a silver border.

These are NOT photoshops, but actually on my car at this current time.

You will note that some of them have the SILVER center cap and some have it painted BLACK.  They ALL have the silver now.  I was going to do a different idea for the black ones (red inserts), but it did NOT look good when done.  I like the silver a LOT better.



The fronts stick out just a LITTLE too far for my liking:



The rears, however, are fine:

How can you run such a wide wheel on the front and not clip your fender when going over a really big bump?

I wish that car ran as good as it looked for me. I am happy that it's treating Taylor right.
