Paint the steelies?

[Admiral93]

I lost a hubcap on my cam and I can't bring myself to shell out the money for a single hubcap, and I don't like any aftermarket designs within my price range, so i figure my best option of acheiving any level of cleanliness would be to paint the wheels.
Does anyone have a better idea or suggestions of what color to paint the wheels on my white car?

NO WAY! the labor you will put in to make them look good will probably be more than you would want to put in.

just go buy some hub cap spinners! that is bling bling. (=

just joking about that. but i don't think painting them would be a good idea.

You can find some pretty good deals on hubcaps on Ebay.

Dude, I'm in college. I have nothing to do on weekends.

Westcoastff, What size are the rims and if they are 15", how much are you asking?

i dont think you should paint them or anything, just take off the rest of the hubcaps so at least your car is all on steelies.... black steelies on a white car is very sexy...
just wash and scrub em real good for a clean look

dont buy hub cap spinners, inless you want one of the spinners to break off, slicing your wheel in half, while you're traveling 80mph down the freeway, like what happened to my friends truck, 2 times its happened to him!

My supervisor lost one of his hubcaps. So he painted his steelie chrome. it actually looked pretty nice. I told him to take the other caps off and do that, but he wouldn't. I think they look good like it, but make sure to do all 4 that way.


I say go for it

I have one of the v6 hubcaps that I can sell you cheap if you interested. I kinda like that idea of painting them chrome though.

vote for black

Black steelies on a white car do actually look pretty good
