bottle caps

[ELG]

does anyone have any pictures of 15' bottle cap wheels with the inside painted black and the lip silver? i was thinking of maybe painting mine. tell me how you think it would look on a white 89 325i

e30 bottlecaps never came in 15". Basketweaves were available here in europe and on ix's in a 15" I believe.

oh well i measured the diameter and it measured to be 15 inches.......but anyway how do you think it would look?

To check wheel size look at the letters around the lug nuts. As for look, they look pretty decent, however I wouldn't waste my time on them. It will look good until the paint starts chipping (dependant upon layers of paint and clear). A simple search will probably bring up some picures.

Old pic of my car, it doesn't look too hot ,but better than if your bottlecaps are all old and scratched.

IMO it would look 10x better on a light coloured car. Black wheels on black cars don't have enough accent.

I'm considering doing that to my 'caps. And IMO, black cars with black wheels aren't for contrast; they're for the more "stealth" look, if you will.

how bout black centers with a snow lip?




go all black or go home. the only point of painting bottlecaps is so you dont have to clean them, therefore dont bother with a silver lip, shit. dont even mask or take the wheels off the car ;)

I'm not sure anyone here has the amount of patience it must have taken to produce those bitchin' weaves.

TJs weaves >> all others.

Those sure do look like bottle caps and not weaves to me.
