painted ralleys
With everyone putting after market wheels on their cars I feel out of place putting the stock ralleys back on mine but I got to thinking about something... does anyone still paint their ralleys to match the car color like they did back in the day? Or even black? Just something different, I ask because I have never seen a painted set on a Corvette before, only on old muscle cars.

Several years ago I painted my rally wheels the same color as the car (red) and I thought it looked pretty good. With the trim rings and center caps the colored rims were not overpowering at all. I had seen this style at several vette shows and rallies and in regards to my car, all comments were positive. It's your car, do what you like! I now have polished aluminum wheels but still like the painted look.

My Painted Ralleys

On New Year's Eve I took off the painted ralleys that were on the car I bought on Christmas Eve. The link is to the post I made that day called My First Mod. It shows my car before and after.

IMHO black is cool
