Default Painting Inner Spokes on GSR Blades

ettin my blades polished and refinished at a shop and just curious as if anyone has painted the inner spokes of the the wheel. They asked if i wanted to return it to the stock gray paint but am wondering if it would look better in black. It looks great on LS Mesh but how bout Blades?



Found Pix

The reason it looks good on LS meshes is because they're more busy. The Blades will look like some cheap *** American Racing wheels or something. I can see them in my head...they're a slanted 5 spoke with a polished face and painted inner spokes. Gross.

damn i wish my mesh looked that good

What type of shop are you bringing your wheels to for the cleaning and painting?

my mesh are all pitted.. i used rubbing compound to remove some of the buildup but the brake dust gets to it quick

Where do you get your blades polished and refinished? How much does that run you?
