Always loved black rims on the red Vette. So $30 later I get these. Very happy with them.

Not really a fan of black wheels, but the Plasti-Dip sure makes it easy to change the looks of the car on the cheap and not be a permanent mod. Looks like you did a good job.

You should put a red stripe around the edges some place. In any case not to bad.

I had never seem chromed ones in person until this weekend, they actually look pretty good. Better than pictures here, I'm sure yours are the same way.

Hey Vinny

Nice job with the wagons! To me black wagon wheels always at a glance look like mallet wheels! Very cool

I plan to do the red stripe within the outer channel.

Short of replacing them probably the best thing you can do to change the look!

And I agree on the red pinstripe, it will really make a difference!!
