i painted my hubcaps black with the spray paint but people started laughing and i felt like one of those honda guys so i say go gangster style steelies without hubcaps. That will look really pimpish. Check out the link on my sig for pictures to get an idea of how it will look.

spray painting hubcaps = rice...


its cool if you dont have the funding for some nice wheels...hell, i dont right now. But spraying the hub caps makes it look like your trying way to hard. I say leave em be...its a more finished look.

i bought rims but through my work so i got them for about 700$ 15inch konigs with BFgoodrich traction t/a's. its the best investment for looks don;t, be afraid and get into some debt unless u absolutley can;t afford it. but you will be satisfied.

Maybe its diffrent on your models but on the 05 theres a metal ring that clips in all around the steeli... and a tab thats obviously used to get it off.. but i cant get it off... trust me its not as simple as prying it off... maybe the previous owner glued em on cause they hate me lol..
