I bet they would look pretty slick painted white to match your car.
I don't have chrome wheels and I haven't come across a post addressing your issue.
If anyone can figure out a cool solution though it would be you.

Thanks Greg,I may just end up getting new ones.i only use Mcguires crystal car wash on them,they seem to be turning brownish,like maybe the heat is affecting them.

Well it's not actually the chrome ,it's the domed decal one side has turned a dull brown. I might be able to just buy the decals and replace them.do you have the LT3 interior?
