When spring hits i am going to be painting my 95 z28.... i have a set of chrome c5 Y2K wheels (in really great shape)..... i was thinking about maybe painting just the face part of the spokes and the center of the wheels so they match the car a little better after paint.... my dad says I'm crazy for painting the wheels because of how nice they are.... but the car is going to be mostly silver,,, so i think that they will clash too much being chrome,,,,,, what do you guys think???

your going to strip the chrome off the wheels and paint them???? Paint doesnt stick to chrome to well.

what color would you paint them black? silver and chrome actually mix very well

I hear alot of guys how paint there chrome rims and they look real nice, if its done right. Please do your homework on this.

What color are you going to paint the car and rims? Maybe someone on here can dig up a picture of that car (to see what yours will look like).

Sorry it took so long,, I've been working a lot... here are the pics I did on photo shop... this is the color scheme is what i am going to do for sure... I believe the wheels are the only thing I'm undecided on as of now...

painted (wheels)

I think the painted wheels look better with the paint sceme you have chosen.

I like the painted rims with the paint sceme of the car. But take the red stripe out and then see what you think. Or if you want to keep the red stripe, think about painting the brake calipers red.

2fast4u · February 2nd, 2011, 06:39 PM

I have it saved both ways with and without the red..... I do have the break calipers red and I got a custom headliner done in black with a red bowtie and silver z28 writing inside of the bowtie.... I personally like the red stripe.... it brightens it up a lot....

and what do you guys think about the interior..... its tan... but i do have a complete black interior... its just the black front driver seat needs to be redone.... other than that its all good.... put it in or dont think it matters??

024mula · February 3rd, 2011, 10:32 AM

Repair the seat......................Black goes with ever thing.

all you need is a big number "3" on the side

96firephoenix · February 3rd, 2011, 04:00 PM

haha to RrCoX22...

I"m gonna be in the minority here and give you my honest 2 cents worth. I think it looks hideous with the painted rims. if they were the C6 rims, I'd probably think otherwise, but being C5s... :nonono:

2fast4u · February 3rd, 2011, 04:47 PM

lol,,, its ok,, it takes more than that to hurt my feelings,,, thats why i wanted everyone's opinion,,,, ultimately i am going to do whatever i choose too,,,, but its just nice to hear what everyone thinks,,,, if anyone has any good ideas,,, let me know,,,

i like it, pain the rims and do the calipers red, looks good, but after all its all up to you bro, you will be driving it.
