The first pic looks best. (With the painted centers.) Take some time and mask them off and they should look really good with the red car.

Sorry guys, I'd keep them silver. The whole painting your rims thing doesn't really thrill me... looks too fake.

93 Cobra wheels were painted like this, with the polished lip.

Just leave them Argent, or PM RC maybe he needs a set.

those '93 cobra rims look nice with that polished lip, i wonder how much work it would be to take a polisher to the lip of stock tri-bars and paint the spokes black to make them look like the 93's. i'm thinking it would take one hell of alot of time

I've never been a fan of black wheels. Some look alright with the polished lip on them. I don't know but when I see them it always makes me think the wheels are really dirty. I'd leave them like it is and just get new wheels.

I get more compliments than MANY of my stang brothers. You should have heard all the comments from the crowd at the last parade we drove through.

HOWEVER, I wouldn't paint the wheels myself. Powdercoat is the only way to go if these are going to be winter wheels.

i was going to go with a dark grey not black because yes black does make the wheels look dirty
