I’m going to be painting other 2 rims and was playing with the idea of going gunmetal black for the spokes of the rim. I usually don’t like painted Virgos, but after a few minutes in Photoshop I think this doesn’t look too bad.
Gunmetal Virgos?

Redwoodchair on turbobricks has some of my favorite virgos. You should polish the lips on yours.
Got any plans for your car in the near future?
Let me add, I also agree they look good on your car
Yeah, that white brick looks pretty good with the polish. I found an image of chromed rims too that looked good.
My plans include a ear down of the front end of the engine/belts to replace the cam and crank shaft seals. I was thinking of doing some rustproofing at the time, probably the hood and area around the headlights and radiator. I’ve thought about painting the chrome trim black, including headlight bezzles and strip above the bumper. Long term maybe a paint job, black. The sides don’t need it but there’s paint problems all over the hood and roof. Plus I’d live to get rid of that plastic trim on the bottom of the doors, but that’s be a lot of body work patching holes.
I like the look, also hides he brake dust better than bright silver
