        Once you paint them, they won't have that cool "shadow chrome" look. They will but much flatter and dull looking.

          Clearcoted they do not look dull at all. But they do NOT have that shaodw chrome look.

            That's what I meant. I didn't mean to say they'd have a matte look.

              Paint them genuine Nogaro, they'll have a lot more depth.

                TJ, they definitely have that cool look in photoshop.

                If I could get it close to that in the real world I would be happy. I already have a "full size spare" kosei to test some options on. Thx for the input guys.

                  Woah, I'm glad to see your car is back together. Let me know if you still want me to testify or whatever it was.

                    Yeah, its pretty hard to get a "real" idea in Photoshop. But I say you do it anyways, dark rims look sick on sterling silver. It'll look hot on your car.
