    I hear ya man. The thought of blue wheels was pretty shiity to me, but seeing it, I changed my mind with the quickness. One thing about having a white car is that the wheels can be damn near any color and look good if you do it right.

    My thoughts exactly you should do it Kev...if you ever decide to paint your wheels that is. I think they look great the way they are though.

    looks better...but I would have gone 2 other routes

    1. WHITE

    2. a darker gold/bronze.

    since materials are at no expensive you can do it whenever u want.

    you kno, it really isnt. Not many people are doing it which is good. Most people want the "polish" look but the "chrome" lip is MUCH nicer. More people are doing that ugly ass old school look. yuck

    i go to lanier tech, lol i know i know, but it was the only school in GA i could find with a good refinishing program, also took body work. it's a all in one class called Automotive Collision Repair.

    But I choose to just refinish, and thats all i do at work too, well paint prep and detail too which is a *****.

    yeah, it had more black. I just googled "green dodge charger black wheels" and I found this. Funny thing about it is that he lives in GA too. The one we are talking about looked a lot better. It was also at Yellow River Collision for a while too. Thats where I saw it. Im not 100% but I think they painted it.

    Here it is, but this isnt the finished product. This was after the first stage of paint.
