I painted the hub caps on my winter tires gunmetal, looks better than just steels but still doesn't look nearly as good asalloy rims do.

The more I look at these the more I want to just throw my real rims back on...[:@] I also can't wait until I can pull of the rest of the body kit and the huge wing.

That doesn't look too bad. I think it would be a good Idea for my winter set up because it's definitely better than stock hubcaps.















and yeah, i agree with the bodykit and wing....
