Default stock steelies

I been thinking about painting my stock steelies and running a trim ring and maybe a center cap to change things up and keep the cost down.

Anybody out there already done this and have some pics...?

Ya that's a nice thread....

So I'm thinking about painting mine white and running black lugs and trim on my Blue Onyx Pearl and later doing some other white accents like the grills and some interior peices.

Any comments/suggestions on the color combo??

I think that would look pretty cool, don't forget a center cap.
