    What color should I go with? White? Black? Silver? Hammertone? Hmmm

    Feel free to photoshop!

    Ya, I gotta go with white on this one. Black just looks like a black hole. Hammertone not much better. And dey is already silver, no point in dat. Gonna be a bitch to keep clean, though.

      Thanks. Yea, I thought about white and keepin em clean. The hammertone I was thinkin of is a bright silver color, scott did a guys f250 wheels in it. Theres like 3 colors at walmart.

      I cant really think of any other colors that wont look rediculous.

        Well I allways love black and those could look cool blacked out with the center caps in chrome.

          I usually run em without centers. Sometimes I don't think the wheels look right with em..

            Paint 'em dark red, or really dark blue. I don't know why, just do it.

                        I'm getting another grille for it. Either leaving it as is, or painting some of it.

                            Variation on Epi's suggestion, leave the flat machined "fin" part aluminum too, but paint inside the wheel where its normally argent. I wanted to do that to mine but never got around to it.
