Default Painted steelies?

So as I patiently wait to put my 35s on with steelies. I'm waiting for the funds for the new tcase as I just put my tranny back in. I got to thinking how you never see people painting there steelies everyone paints there stock rims but never d windows or anything so I'm trying some stuff out

Agreed. I have the V-5's which most people dont have/like and i was thinking of doing something to them as well. Maybe leave the lips black like you did and do the centers green like my Cherokee? I dont know... yet.

I'm just SOOOOOO tired of black stealies. Its a "me too" rim.

"i have black cragars...." ..... "oh yeah!!!...ME TOO"...

sorry again i just keep doin that...:brickwall :

its different and silver and black look alot better then all black.

black rim and black tire?? there is no seperation of contrast between the 2. but thats me. hell i even run white lettering out...lol
looks good to me. now use some black lug nuts and black center caps.

I love white wheels and they look great but it depends highly on the color of the XJ.
