Default thinking of re-finishing my wheels...

yea so, i am thinking of polishing the lip, and either leaving the center black, or getting it finished gold or red, which do you think.. i also have a question, i may end up using aircraft stripper and i dont know if i should take off the wheels, or do you think they will be safe...:>?

I like the way your car looks now, but a polished lip couldn't hurt.

I vote for an original color scheme...Polished lip with either silver, black or red centers. With red being my first choice...(Because I wasn't bold enough to run red Div. 3's back in the day.)

Very odd, you quote me, but don't quote me. It's almost like you wanted to steal my thoughts and not give me credit.

You know my idea is the best...Stick with it! Don't do anything goofy and trendy like gunmetal or gold, you'll regret it later. Just stick with an OG scheme and you'll be cool.

if not, go for the polished lip, but keep the rims black.
