Factory finish on the face of the wheel and paint the recesses gunmetal or black.

I think this is the best option. Probably going to do the recess parts black.

Don't use black. Use a gun metal or another shade of of gray. Black,as I stated earlier,hides all the detail of most any wheel.

Always use a darker shade of the color of the wheels, if not using car matching color.... otherwise it may turn out looking like a circus wagon..

example A


From a distance. this actually looks a lot darker then it really is. Almost charcoal looking. But up close it looks like this, and this picture came out darker then it is in person. It's actually almost a blue-ish gray metallic... .. Don't worry... that rust is gone now. lol

In this case I think black will work since trim is black.

Very nice looking car!! :bowdown:

Where is that on 54?  I traveled that road a lot to avoid Rt40 while working down there!:hick:
