Default Painting my rims....kinda

I have this very sophisticated computer program that allows me to paint over pictures. It's called "Paint". Maybe some of you have heard of it. I thought I'd play around and see different black options on my rims like black lugs, black spokes, black with machined lip (it's not really a lip...more of a ring), black all over, .....etc. I'm particularly fond of the all black with chrome lugs and the all black with black lugs and the black with machined lip and chrome lugs.....like the actual 18x8.5 black bullitts.

Anyway, here they are. Hope you enjoy.

Oh, I don't plan on painting my rims or anything. I was just wondering how the different options looked. I did consider getting the black bullitts instead of the silver ones, but then I decided that silver was the look I wanted. I'm very happy with my car. Thanks for the compliment.

I like the stock wheels you have on there as they are. Maybe paint the calipers though...make it look good that way. [sm=smiley20.gif]

I do want to paint my calipers one day, but I don't want them to be bright red. I want a deep, deep red.....or maybe black....I don't know.


The rims are silver painted....not polished.

omg....

finally.. thank you for doing this!!!..

ok.. my vote is hands down for allllll black..

but if you really wanted a lip, then i think it actually looks really cool with the bullits being black, but the enitre dish part being chrome/machined.. ie. this one vvvvv






but this one gets my vote hands down.. the chrome lugs make it look like an interceptor!.. which IMO is tight.. but chrome or black lugs.. idc.. just do it!!!!!
