they might look like the rota slipstreams if you painted it all black. kind of.

why not just leave it the way it is? looks good right now

i vote for bronze. or even yellow..... all that work to paint them, at least have something that looks good and no one has. black and polished is cool but you said it yourself...... thats played out and re-played and then played again

I'd either leave'em the same or paint them bronze.

Played out? I think they look great, especially on the right colour car. Yours is one of 'em...

Nah, they are perfect as is. If anything like others have said go for bronze or gold spokes instead. If you do it with the duplicolor wheels paint you can always go back with little effort later as long as you don't sand them.
