Hot pink! With whale skin hubcaps, and all-leather cow interior, and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights!

But if you don't want to be that eccentric, then yeah, smoothin out the rash is good. Maybe a smoked look? All depends on what you want to go for.

My opinion is that refinished STOCK wheels wouldnt look too hot.

Id prefer to get a new set of rims with a shiney black finish for the spokes and a shiney silver finish for the circle part that connects to the spokes.

but im wanting to keep 18s. i like the way the 18s look with the s techs i have on mine and tires for 19s are way too expensive. i might have my whole wheels powder coated gunmetal though. that would look really good on my car i think
