cheap DIY mod

I was getting sick of my gold wheel caps from when i bought it so i thought id paint it to match my car. Ill take pics ofit with my car. i got a SMR 03 CLS. i have them on now, i think it looks good, different, and much better than the gold.







what do you guys think?

red draws too much attention to ur rims... even though they match, but it might look good..

This is one of the better "Cheap" DIY mods I've seen that actually looks decent. You might start a trend if others like it.

I think the gold just distracts from what the car should look like. It's played out ya know.
