Nice! I was thinking of doing it myself I helped work on a few before and figured It would be a great Project to start on my Monte but Ill look around cause if I can get a price like yours I would definitely consider it

I would consider that If its done right that could be a great look ! Im gonna do some price checks at shops and see how much paint would cost me to DIY it today

i think if u paint the star parts red and the middle of the stars it looks like a line is in the middle of them, paint them white and the outter rim white this way it compliments the color of ya car....painted ma rims too, and i deff like them better than aftermarket rims

If you want to stand out, go with a red wheel. Or maybe a white wheel. Or just have the machined wheel with red lugs. I have a brown car, and I have the same wheels, and I will be painting them gold, with black lugs and black center cap, I am thinking of maybe going with a diffrent color on tht lugs.

Zippy, I'll bet that things a bear to hold onto on the track! 600+ whp with front wheel drive. My son has an Impala SS with the 303 HP 5.3L V8 and it's hard to keep in a straight line when getting on it.
