    TJ, a lot of people are telling you to, but I don't really like the idea.

    It's not that the black centers don't look good, it's that the silver just looks so damn sexy. I like the silver center better. And you already have black center wheels. There should just be two different looking wheels! Not just two of the same in different sizes.

    You have hella unique wheels, there's no reason to make them even more different. The silver is drop dead gorgeous. My opinon is don't do it.

    You asked to see what we thought, and I don't like it as much as silver. Do what satsifies you the best, and good luck!

          They'd either be powdercoated or professionally sprayed.

            Do it, it carries on the theme of the clack lip and whatnot. Have you resprayed your rockers black again? If they are still all wavy with silver like before then make sure that is taken care of as well. Either way car looks nice man 8)

                  I'll have to say no here too. Can't see those rims get painted, although it does match the other black pieces on the car, I still don't like it as much.

                  I say more Photoshop, then decide.

                        i'm all about that tj, it brings out all of the black trim on your car, good flow, and it seems to balance and finish off the car nicely.

                        Do it for sure!

                            No not really. They are normal clear Hella halogen bulbs. The white balance in that pic is way off. They are pretty yellow, but hella (excuse the pun) bright.

                              I really need to do this as well. [sorry for the hijack] but how to do you this, prep? product?

                              did you just tape off the areas? and what rattle can did you use?

                              thanks

                                I used Marhyde Rubberized Undercoating from Discount Auto Parts. All I did was clean them up really good and hit them up. Masked it with normal masking tape...
