Thinking About Painting the Solara's Wheels

Postby SolaraSport » Tue Jan 31, 2012 1:23 pm

After painting the roof of my car black, I believe it is only right that I paint the wheels next to match instead of having a full chrome look. I was thinking of a combination of white and black. I would like to know your opinion on how you would use the combination of white, chrome and black to paint the wheel below.

Comments appreciated. The wheels are 20" if that helps.

i actually like the chrome. they look pretty blangin but if you insist on painting black or white, my opinion would just be to go all black. white cars on black wheels look dope.
