Default Painted stock C4 wheels

Anyone have photos of painted factory C4 wheels. Id like to see what they look like with a painted center and chrome/polished lip.

Painted saw blades?

Painted 88-90s?

Thanks

hey, those all look good.
this may be an alternative for me as i have tried to go for the polished look with my Cuisine-Art rims and its simply a pain in the a*@ to keep them looking good. really like the black with the silver ring but worried it may be too much black on my car..not sure

I was thinking about painting my sawblades. what kind of prep is need to paint a wheel. IS it a special blend of paint or a special seal coat that is stronger for wheels? Im very scared of chipping. Anyone that has completed the painting please chime in with as much how info as possible. THANKS

I used the self etching primer and then the color coded paint on top of that. Then topped it off with a clear coat. As much as I wash and pamper this baby I don't expect it to peel any time soon.

I still like the polished look. This is a set I bought in Carlisle from a 91. Sold to an Aussie who had them professionally polished to remove all the rough casting marks.

This is a set of Riken 16" rims I had on an 87. I painted them body color.
