    what color to paint my wheels

    one of my tstar covers has a huge chip so im going to repaint them

    what do you guys think i should do

    keep it silver on silver?
    silver lip, black wheel cover and cap?
    silver lip with silver centercap and black tstar cover?

    also the centercap is plastic while the throwing star part is metal, you guys think i will have trouble getting them both paint matched?

    As good as black with silver lips looks it's starting to get played out if you ask me, also if you paint the stars black you won't be able to see the nice contours. I say go dark silver with polished lips.

      Sharpen the points on the Throwing stars, and use them as weapons.

      Sell the wheels to Wheeter and let him spray the Pink, Green, Orange, etc and use them as endtables.

            keep it how it is but touch it up. thats not a flashy enough to be rocking black centers on.

              silver - and it looks like your covers are mismatched - three of one side, one of the other . . . .

                  You have a white car... you have endless possibilities. Have some fun. Be original. How about gloss red w/ polished lips?

                    No caps. Refinish the wheels black with polished lips.
