Anyone paint the centers of their Mahale's? I have a Guards Red 914 and currently the centers of the Mahales are black. I was wondering how gold or white would look?

Bad photoshop job. The Mahles don't have a lot of cutout areas. I think anything but black (or stock or polished) doesn't work as well, unless it's an existing accent color, like on the bumblebees or Kelty360's car (which looks great, btw!).
Bad photoshop job with white.  |

I like it. It looks mean with the black wheels.

My vote is gold, lends itself to vintage race car, but would need to be the right shade. I have been experimenting….
First picture is my car with some junk wheels painted 4 colors….. other pictures are for reference….. Good luck with your decision… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)
