The black wheels, need something. I understand new tires and not enough money for new wheels, but they do take away from the car.
Possibly a red stripe might help. It does need something, not sure a set of chrome center caps would work, but you can get a set cheaply off eBay.

Whatever makes you happy. I would agree that the black sure beats a flaking set of chrome wheels.

The plastidip to cover over the peeling chrome is a good idea, but I like jcsperson's idea to try the silver metalizer plastidip over the black. It would add some definition to the wheel to make it stand out better.

Im going to give it look. So far I've got a lot of compliments on the street. It looks pretty mean.
