Painting Rims

[tour95]

I got a set of 15' eagle alloys that I pulled off my tour for the winter, I want to repaint them and I'm in the process of stripping the paint from the insides of the stars. Im not sure what color? Im thinkin maybe black with a chrome lip (If I can find paint that looks like chrome) or maybe a gun metal all around?
This is the only pic I have right now

no suggestions?

black with a polished lip would look cool. At least these are your winter wheels. Let us know how they turn out.

No, they came off awhile ago. I have steelies for winter. Do those not look good?

I dont suggest "chrome paint" as that stuff never replicates the real thing. You'd be better off polishing the lip of your wheels and maybe clearcoating it for durability.
