What color to refinish center of rims?
Well i picked up a used set of some Work VS-XX's I am taking them in to get the lips touched up/re polished and am not really a huge fan of black centers....

What is your guys takes and if anyone is a photochopper maybe help me out

Should I leave them as is??

Should I have the centers done in Gold?

Centers done in Bronze

Centers done in a black chrome look?

Any other dope options that might go with a CBP car??

Just me, I am a HUGE fan of prima donna finishes.

White center, gold bolts, polished lip.

That looks crazy!!! I actually was lokn for gold bolts but they are $20 for 5 meaning i would have to spend over $700 in bolts since each rim has 44!!!

Pimpin! Ud need a walking cane and a Pimp cup every time you stepped out of the car with those on haha
Im usually not a fan of black face wheels but to me the Works look nice on your car with the black. But black chrome would look even hotter.

well i just had the centers done in a light grey metallic that i picked from a color chart ... the wheel repair shop did not know exactly what color "burning black" was so i just had to pick from the random grey/silver combos lol.... not sure if its guna be close but oh well

i think they should look similar to the color combo my current rims are but "real" this time lol
