Polished , gunmetal, or some sort of silver would be nice haha. No "colored" wheels though would just look off.

Congrats on another yummy Sc.
I'd personally leave them alone until you can get the wheels you want on it. That money would ultimately kinda be wasted once you do and it looks fine for now. You have big plans for it, garnish last.
Can't wait to see what you do with it!

thank you again for all the input guys. I think i'm going to go with a slightly lighter shade of the gunmetal but darker then hyper silver. I know i should not be spending money on these wheels since i don't plan on keeping them on more then a year but i need the car to look good for the time being who knows maybe i'll fall in love with the refinished wheels again when they're done.

I'm waiting on a fellow member who works at wheels of America to help me set something up for next week, but in the mean time if anyone has some good pics of SC's (preferably green) with TT wheels, feel free to post 'em up! Im still not 100% committed to color

Haha thanks bro, far from done tho, 97 sides and rear are the possibly future plans going to stay with the 92 front for sure tho!

Those vids are awesome for polished aluminum,

This stuff Noxon7 works really well on chrome! Bought it at Lowes for like 5 bucks!
