I say you should have let it be..

But since you already striped it, polish it all up and make it bling bling yO!

Gunmetal!!! If they're blinging, they may look like cheap chrome wheels.

What about Bronze?

What color is your car? If it's black or white I would go Bronze- like a dirty penny, not too light!

I'd polish them in a second.

Too many people say gunmetal, bronze, etc.

Stick with what has been classic for years...Silver or polished.

yes i did.. the outside and lip is pretty much done, the insides and corners are a pain .. i might just do the insides and everything else gunmetal and leave the face and lip polished.. i need to adjust my camera for a nite view with flash so you guys can get a good clear view of the rim.. i will finish it up completely and try to get a better shot.
