    I like the dog dishes. The spokes just look a bit too busy.

    sorry bout the confusion, I was referin to the black vs. painted lip steelies. I just put a pic of the whole car to show the paint. The spokes are coming off!

    I like the painted lip a lot. Makes the dog dish look bigger and gives the illusion of less wheel showing. Good idea.

    Yea the trim rings take away from the wheels. I'm not into the rings at all. So I decided to change it up a bit and came up with this.....

    i like the first one with the paint just on the lip

    what rims did you use and how wide & skinny of a tire can you fit on them

    they will look way better then them daytons
