Styling spraying alloys

[Chris-blk2000punto]

Hi guys iv been looking at alloy wheels on the net which are black with a chrome lip, i really like the look of them but their way to expensive for me. The thing is i have some pretty decent 16" silver alloys from a stilio and they look alright, i was thinking of maybe spraying them black and leaving the rim silver like the pic below (they have been curbed a bit by previous alloy owner so a change is welcome). What you guys think? I would remove the fiat center caps to show my wheel nuts as they are chrome so the center would be silver also like the pic. Anyone know how i would go about spraying them (coats of paint/laquer wise?) how would i get them glossy?
Should i not bother as the silver is a good contast or change it to black as its not been done 2 my knowledge, also think it would look more mean and custom. Pics below to help you decide! photoshop any one?

sort of look im trying to get

my car with stilio alloys

I think it depnds on the wheel. lookig at your stilo wheels I personally dont think the lip looks deperate enough to make it look right if you left the lip.

Lookd goon on rins where there is a definitive lip with no section of it attaching to the spoke. like hte picture you originally posted.

However, you may do as you wish with your car.

I have those Momo's on my mk1, for about 2 years now. Really hard to get hold of, they were on back order when I was trying to get them

This is what it looks like:




I wanted the momos cause they were different, everyone and his dog seems to have black wheels these days, but not many of them at all have these Momo's. italian wheels FTW :slayer:

I know a boy whos got the momo corses on his corsa the 17" dont seem that hard to come by.

I didn't say I had the only set on the planet, they just tend to be not as common as wolfrace octanes etc. Plus I have the 16s, little bit harder to locate

for doing the stilo alloys have a look at 1.8stilo's car, done it to claws and looks mighty fine,
