Can someone "paint" these factory thinspokes black, or a darker grey?






I bought them cheap enough to mod, but I'd like to see what darker wheels look like on my car....


Thanks in advance!

Hmmmmmm.............I think I like the grey better....I'm also considering painting them Cyber Grey, saving the hassle of trying to match pint to powder-coat on the center caps....

Here's my unsolicited opinion: Keep 'em the way they are -- I think your Vette looks great as is!

I just bought a second set of thin-spokes, mostly for the center caps, as mine are bronzish, so I got them at a decent enough price to experiment with them, or yeah, I'd let it be...
