It is up to nopistons to decide! Should i paint the bbs wheels: black center with polished lip, completly black, or no paint at all.

none, leave them alone

Stock BBS wheels look best in their original condition, for black centers with a polished lip, I would go aftermarket. Well i guess I already did! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Yeah ill just buy some nice ones after i get some other things taken care of and i guess a new place or find out what im doing.

yeah... please leave em, they look so much better stock

i dont think they look bad with the black centers.

I have 2 complete sets of vert rims. Maybe I should experiment.



one set got run through salt or something and the stock silver paint on the spokes got taken off. I might paint those black and see how it looks.



I can always repaint them if it doesn't look right....

Try it so we can all see once and for all.

I like the black w/polish'd lip

im always a fan of black with polished lip or just all black , im am very in love with the black fd all black rim look haha its so very racecar

black w/ polished lip = old school pontiac grand am.



and seriously...who wants to imitate that?



kevin.

Dont forget the old school porsche,,,

i've always wanted to paint the center section of my rims black... but too many people got mad at me for jsut thinkin it

so yeah... i like the black center for those rims

i dont think all black center with polished lip looks like a pontiac grand am, but the pontiac had the bbs mesh style in black with polished lip.



other rims look perfectly nice, such as the rims im putting on my car lol.



fikse, yours would look good, but i dont think it would go well with your car.



kevin.

I think your thinking of the old Pontiac Trans Am GTA with the mesh wheels, I STILL like them, lol



grand ams had some silly wheel cover looking mesh rim thing

hmm i might eb thinking of the wrong car...but i wouldnt want my 7 looking like a trans am either...



kevin.

I don't like the all black, all silver looks ok, my vote goes for black with polished lip.

maybe a dark grey center? the black center makes the rims look generic

I honestly think both ways they are painted that they look ugly....but its your car! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
