    Searching "paint bottlecaps" will net you a bunch of threads on the subject. I think it would look decent if you paint them properly. Might want to think about pink ones, too...there may still be some money in it. :)

      IMHO black rims don't look that good on white cars...

          I didn't use straight black, more of a hammered charcoal, though it shows not at all in this photo. In direct sunlight it looks better. Prep is everything, if you go this route, and use a durable paint like Krylon, Rustoleum or similar, not the cheapest thing on the shelf at Ollie's.

              Paint them white, thats what I did. (I use them for winter duty)

              Looks about as good as bottlecaps get.

                Uh, no you won't.
                You could buy a gorgeous set of wheels for what that will cost you. Bottlecaps are the wheel of choice for those of us too cheap or too poor to buy something, well, decent.
