What to do with these SI's?
SO I have a set of SIs for my white EG. One of them was banged up pretty good so I stripped it and sanded out the scratches. I was going to polish them out like I did my slips... then thought "damn, I don't want another high maintenance wheel". I want to paint them but cannot even begin to think of a color that would look good on them. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I was thinking red as well. Red face.. polished lip and do something to darken up the inside of the spokes

Since it's just one wheel, I think it's worth spending the $100-125 it costs to get it professionally repaired/refinished. That's what I would do.

A really good professional wheel repair place should be able to do that.

I was thinking keeping them oem too. But awhile ago I saw some si's that were dipped in chrome and to my surprise they looked good.

i've seen them in chrome, way too much bling. you can powercoat blades/meshes to look somewhat clean but you can't do anything to si's to make it look any better
