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.

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!

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....
