how about -leave em stock! you will get bored with the "boy-racer" white look. -
well since they are just covers he can take them off if he gets bored of it, and the wheels underneath will look sexy anyway.Comment

Where's the "Play metal frisbee with the neighborhood dog" option?
Seriously, I vote "leave them off" - or stock.
If you have to paint something, the last one looks fairly cool.
::EDIT:: I just saw the wording of what you plan to do in option #4. I say leave the silver fins alone, so they still match the rims, but paint the coves black.
I just hope you plan to leave the wheels alone, no white paint there. Someday you would regret it.
Vlad's all white wheels worked on his car because they were prolly the cheapest thing on that car. You could just about glue a dildo on the hood and it would still be more pimp than 90% of the cars here.
The all white "period correct" is one of the the period things that is best left there. That, and Milli Vanilli.Last edited by LINUS; 12-31-2006, 08:59 AM.

lol "Play metal frisbee with the neighborhood dog" option, is when i get sick of em and want to roll around with the wheel exposed. i dont plan on having them on all the time, something to change the look from time to time. i also plan of getting some stars, to have 3 different looksComment

i kinda think those options look like bunk.
if yer gonna change colors, you need to paint the whole cover and the lip of the wheel the same color.Comment

There was a website that is now dead that had a lot of information on these wheels. The problem with stars is that the centercap doesn't fit for some reason on older wheels, basically the really early turbines according to the site. So when you get that far, you might want to borrow a star and centercap from someone to verify they will work on your wheels. Yours might be new enough to not have an issue if you're lucky. Congrats on finally getting a set, and Nurburgring at that. Seems like you were hunting a while.

So, are these staggered Yan?
They need to be the same color as the lip of the wheel, IMO. Whether that be White or Silver.
Either this, or paint them black.
As you can see on Abraham's car, they also look good center cap-less...
