IMO you should have painted the caps the same color. Looks a bit sh__y with the white.

Idk, I kinda liked it having some silver besides the lugs. They are eaisly paintable afterwards so i can paint them if I ever change my mind.

All black > silver. I wish I took the time to mask off the scion emblem now that I think about it.

the only duplicolor they have at my local autozone is called "perfect match" and it's like a bunch of gm, hyundai, and toyota car colors. Would that hold up for wheel paint?
