I know it might seem a bit ghetto, but if you are unsure about spending $500+ for a new set of rims and wheels when you think yours are still good... try this:

Spraypaint your hubcaps... it doesnt really look that bad. Check it out.

What do you think? (I have since changed wheels...)

Those are the freshest... well, ok. How about something in gunmetal? :P

I had those before on my 9-spoke as well. I was inspired by Cheif Thundercloud. Anyway, did you add paint adhesion spray for plastic products? I didn't with mine and it started to chipped and peeled off :cry: . When I get a chance I'll get some paint remover spray and do it properly. :oops: Also the 7-spoke or Donut hole xB hubcaps would look good painted black (dont paint the SCION logo). The donot hub would look similar to our steel wheels.

I did that with my hubcaps in gunmetal. Looks 100% better on the darker car.
