Default Back in BLACK

Should I leave the centers silver? OR paint them black and the SVT lettering Silver?

I'd leave the centers alone, but many would say I have no taste.

They sell some black svt centers that would look good on those. Still, if they were mine ide try painting them first because im cheap like that.

I really like the contrast that the silver center cap gives.

I am not a fan of black wheels. But that is just me. If you like them, that is what counts.

Prep was just wash and scotch brite with a red scotch brite with water. Paint was the .99 cent Gloss black from Wal-mart. Eventually I'll have them powder coated now that I know I like how it looks.
