Dude sineo, you are the MAN!

Those look great! And I'm for option #2 for the center caps.

nicely done, those look good
i personally like the caps as-is, but if you really want to paint them i'd say option #2

I'm kind of inclined not to paint them...I'm glad you think they look good as they are, too.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! When I started this, I was pretty sure that most people would hate it, but I knew I'd love it...but I'm still glad that the general consensus is that I didn't just make a huge mistake .

IMHO option 3 would look really hot! If you're going to go to the trouble to paint them that's what I would do but they looks good as is.

The car is looking nice sineo! Those black wheels really compliment your headlights with also the black housings.

As for the centercaps, I like them the way they are! [sm=smiley20.gif]

I don't know where my digital camera is so I had to take more pics of the finished product with my cell phone. I know the quality is unacceptably bad, but here they are (quantity before quality):

Very cool look - the shots showing the whole car make the wheels really look great. They complement the car very well, and I stand by center cap option #2, especially with the lug covers painted silver. Excellent work
