any one with painted OEM 17 in double spoke wheels? i was thinking of painting the centerd of my wheels that are in my sig and leaving the lip the satin color possibly using my polishing wheel to polish out the lip and was wondering if anyone had any pix of these wheels painted in this fashion....

I think the paint would conceal some of the intricacies of the wheel, but it's your choice.

leave them silver, or paint them completely.. the whole custom painted with lip polished or silver is getting old, and you will get tired of it a lot sooner than a completely painted wheel. and about consealing the intricasies, thats right.

The whole thing with painting them entirely black looks bad. I tried this once with my old doublespokes and they looked awesome.
