Wheel Colors

Trying to decide what color to paint/coat my six spokers. If youve painted you wheels lets see them!

I stripped the black paint off and painted the centers gloss gray, left the machined part of the wheel bare. Should have cleared them for ease of cleaning, but they look decent and don't chip. Different color center sections can be tried out if you have a paint program on the computer.

Silver spokes/polished outers. Very hard to keep clean, but when they are, whoooo boy! They sure are pretty!. I vote black... But Repsol orange is awfully smexy too.
