Wow was going to do this very thing last weekend but was too cold here for painting. :( I was going to go gloss black and bright red for the lip! I like the look and thanks for the pics, I've got more confidence to do it now. :)

White steelies look good. I'd like to see them with chrome trim rings, centre cap, and lugs.

Not bad! I thought about going with white steelies, but figured they'd get super dirty since my steels wheels are my winter wheels.

Is there going to be a problem with no center caps? Where would one get some if it is?

i have heard (if anyone knows any better then me please correct) that center caps actually have a purpose. and that is to keep "grit" out of the wheel bearrings. no center caps could promote premature wheel bearing ware and therefore ull be replacing them more often.
