Hypothetically speaking it looks good. But who/how are you gonna paint them?

You should take a can or two of clear coat to them. I think they would look better with clear coat on them.

Im gonna get them sanded down, and fully painted, not a powder coat. I think they will look good, very deep and shiny, keep in mind people that i did that mock up myself. It looks really dull and not anything like it would. With a deep shiny black and bright silver lip it would look really nice.
I know a guy who can do it for me just for the cost of paint, its nice

I think they look ok. But, I think they would be sweet with the chrome on the ridge and some in the center. I have been looking for some Chrome and Black rims. They look sweet if you get the right setup like these

The sides of the rims look pretty battered. Are you gonna do anything about that?
