    I guess the center cap looks better off. Depends on the angle you look at it. Weird.

    I'd clean out the center and paint everything under the cap black and then leave it off.
    I don't like the metal cap look, so the only other thing would be to paint the caps black like rob said...
    but metal caps suck when they are supposed to match the wheels.

    I vote off and painted black or genmetal, but don't paint the lip. Either color should go with the car color.

    i agree with some of the others... paint them flat black or gunmetal, and leave the lip polished aluminum.. theyd look hot.

    **edit** kinda like the wheels in my sig.

    LOL. What's with all the automatic links? I noticed in a couple of the posts above, everytime they write paint, it puts in a link to the how to section. It did this to me earlier in another post I was doing about cold air intakes.

    HaHa.. see what I mean?

    Whatever you do...don't paint the rims! Get them powder coated, it would probably cost about $30 per rim, it's a helluva lot more durable than paint and will look alot better in the long run.

    Is it just my imagination or does Kalimari kinda look like deep fried assholes?
