So, I drove my SC3 during the winter for about 2 months and got a crapload of corrosion on my wheels. I sanded my wheels with 1500 and then 2000 and got somewhat of a nice finish, I then proceeded to sand the centers while I was at it and am at somewhat of a crossroads. I can't decide whether or not to paint the centers a bright silver metallic or a light gun-metal grey. Please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!!!!

Btw, the 1st pic is before I sanded them, the second is with 1500 wet sand, the third was with 2000 and the fourth and fifth are with the centers sanded. I need help my fellow CL Brothers, what do you Guys think?

Thanks!!!

Either color would look good. Are you planning on powder-coating or just painting them?

What color is the car? and kind of a side note, what size and type of tires are those. They look killer! My personal on the wheels is silver.

Murdoc,
I'm just going to paint them at the bodyshop.

BSC300TT,
Tires are 285/30/18 BF Goodrich Gforce TA/KD's.

BigGreen,
I wet sanded the lips with 1500 grit and followed up with 2000 grit sandpaper.
I then polished the lips with an aluminum polish

I'm thinking of going with the bright silver. I need to make up my mind asap.
Btw, the car is onyx black.

The darker color will make the rims look smaller, I say go silver

msc300

Keep them silver, always been a fan of those wheels. You might also consider taking them apart and having the lips dipped in chrome, might make them a little easier to maintain.
