Greetings,

Trying to decide if I should do anything to the center caps of my new Flik Artics (mounted pics to come this weekend...). Anyone done this on a black wheel (weak photoshop attempts below)?

Also what procedures work well if I do paint them?

Paint OEM - my favorite if I could paint it gloss black and keep the silver rings

Paint the existing Flik...

I like the 3rd one but paint the whole thing black w/ the rings staying chrome/silver.

Obviously, not the best paint job in the world, but I think the black centers w/ the rings the best...

If you're afraid to paint the new wheels, why not try black vinyl? If you heat it up, it will stretch pretty easily. Let me know if you want to try it...
