I disassembled them in order to instal a new inner lip/ barrels and the decided to re-polish my lips the right way. Now that they are all apart I'm thinking about having the centers painted. Not sure which color. My car is seal gray. I'm thinking to color match them or maybe do satin black. What do you guys think?

 

seal gray barrels with satin black faces...

 

noooo.... leave it brushed

 

I have been thinking what color I would paint them for a long time now. After removing the center to refinish the lips I figured it was the perfect time to paint them, however the more and more I think about it I think the brushed center looks to good to change. We'll see I have a day or so to make up my mind before the car goes all back together.

 

this is a cool wheel. in the same category as OZ monte carlo's, bbs lm's, and the OG hre wheels from the 90s. i wouldnt do black centers. within 10 feet it'll look like a ccw classic.. any further and the wheel loses its identity.

see ? all cars posted have CCW Classics...





they dont look like classics anymore... hard to tell if its an LM, or another similar type of wheel.

i would do this... and keep it classsssy

 

Here is my seal grey with bbs lm's with silver, black and seal grey centres to give you some ideas.

 

If you're the conservative type go semi gloss or satin black or even a shade of grey. If you are more daring or have a flamboyant personality, bright orange, red, gold or another bright contrasting color might work.

 

I really like the painted centers but would stick with brushed as I would eventually get bored with the color.
