Give your wheels another 30k miles. They'll start turning black Ask any other steel-wheeled Sport owner

Make sure you post pics! I have been tossing that idea around for a while now. The wife is against it, but she can't ALWAYS get her way ~:|~ |

it wouldnt be hard but I would just leave them chrome bc I would think that it wouldnt last too good, especially if you mess with them a lot |

I"m pretty sure I posted this before somewhere, but here it is again for the sake of discussion - there was some debate about whether to paint the center caps of the steel wheels so I photoshopped mine. I like the silver centers personally. One of these days I'll actually get around to painting them. Hopefully before it snows. 
Yeah they're ugly, but until I get some Moabs there what I've got!

maybe I will do that on my wife's Red Sport. 
Was this just a tape off the wheels and hit it with a rattle can or did you do something more detailed? |

Probably will rattle can them though, with a sandblast and prime first. I'm looking for a satin finish, not too flat, not too glossy - the pics look that way I think. Maybe I should get off my butt and give it a shot this weekend... |

I hear you there! One reason I want to paint them is they are starting to rust around the edges, darn Toronto salt!
