Wheel question????
1st of all, I've always felt that chrome or high polished wheels don't look as good on a silver car as they would on a dark colored car. (more contrast). I really like the black centered motorsports wheels, and would like to get some for my quicksilver coupe. However, having black spokes, at a distance, not much detail is visible. So it doesn't matter if there are 5 or 10 spokes. So here's my question....has anyone taken the OEM thin spoke wheels and painted them black? I mean just the 5 spokes, leaving the outer rim and center polished. If so, I'ld love to see some pics!! Thanks....

That's a good look on a silver car. It was one of my choices.... went with polished.

I simply stated that ANY chrome/polished wheel offers more contrast on a dark colored car than on a silver car. ( silver against silver vs. silver/chrome against black)
It's just your preference happens to be black, and mine is chrome. 
Either way they ALL look AWESOME!
