    I can think of two options for you 1. get a rim you don't need and have your brother do it and see if you like it, or 2. take a picture of them and have someone photochop it for you.

    Personally I think they look good on your car they way they are, but as Bullard says find some others and experiment....then go final, you'd hate to paint your rims and hate it, and not be able to go back....

    can always try it for a while and if you dont like it, use aircraft paint remover and strip them again. Anyway. heres a pic of a buddys teg with the fat fives painted black w/ polished lip.

    That shit does look tight on the teggy and i bet itl look just as good on your 3G . I say paint one and if you dont like find another one, and then find a spare for it in the meantime. But if you cant find any our theryre too expensive just use your imagination and run on that. Good luck and post some pics if you go with it.
    No more 3G but that doesn't mean i cant look at yours...

    Re: Question...FAT FIVES ????

    i was gonna say dont do them all one color. a polished lip would look killer. i was thinking do the insets on the spokes a different color, but the all black with polished lip looks great. as long as they arent half assed when being painted they should look good. and you did say they would look professional. anyway, i think you want to do it. so show us pix if you do.

    Some one should photoshop it for you, just to save you the efforts, that way you'll get a sollid idea.
