My 90 coupe has some aftermarket wheels on it that have not "grown" on me. One day I'd like to get correct GM wheels for it but in the meantime I think I can live with what I have. Although white isn't doing it for me.

Suggestions would be great on painting a different color. These wheels were installed by the first owner sometime between new and four years since the RW Wheel company of Ghent, Belgium ceased business sometime in 1995. Forged Aluminum 17x9.5 at $390 each new.
I'm thinking:
Black centers or
Gunmetal gray centers
Leaving the polished aluminum outer rims.
Mine are in great condition, the photo is of a like wheel. I'm accepting all comments. :)

If it isn't broke, I haven't fixed it yet....

YA...I don't think those things would "grow" on me, either.
Have you considered removing the paint, and polishing the whole rim?
Painting the centers/spokes the same color as the car might be neat, too, but them again...maybe not. I think I would go for the completely polished look, at least at first, just to see if they looked better on the car. I think they would.

I've actually received a compliment on them at a show once. Strange but true. I guess I've forgotten the early 90s and what people were thinking. LOL

Mine are in much better shape. Here they are on the car.

I think they look great and I've always liked the white on white theme. Myself I'd be tempted to get the entire wheel done in white.... is powder coating them an option ?

I guess I'm the odd duck but I really like your rims. The white body with white rims works for me. It's different but for me in a good way. I don't think my Dark Red Metallic could pull it off - just say'n

Well I am a bit different than these others........maybe I'm getting too old ;)
I don't like the white. Makes it look like your trying to be an 88 anniversary car. I think you would be better of with the stock 90 rims......... Just my opinion.

Woohooo!!!
Two to Two.
Buy the time I need new tires I'll try to find some 1990 stockers. I'm not trying to make it something it's not. Plus I like the stock wheels. I just have to not be fooled though. Need two left and two right. LOL

I'll definately keep that in mind and may give you a yell.
Do you have a price in mind? Also wondering how much shipping would be as I'm way out on the left coast.
