Very nice, SRT4Erik!
I'm wondering what red rims would look like poking through the slots.

Has anyone tried "Smoothie Wheel Covers"?
I found some on www.hubcapmike.com that I think would look awesome!

Looks good dude, and yes I think this was the very first thing I did to my car when I got it. I also used the Krylon Fusion paint, have put 18,000 miles on the wheels so far, and I only have a couple rock chips in them and that's it. Other then that, they still look like the first day I painted them.

common man its only done by trial and error.

i repainted mine a total of 4 times cause i couldnt get the right gloss. now i am getting ready to repaint it again cause i have a bit of orange peel on the edges. plus if you mess up and some how break the hubcap, i saw a 7spoke on ebay for $10.

Looks so much better than the silver caps!
IMO the silver caps only look good on the Classic Silver xB.
I still think 16's are way too small, but at least the color looks appropriate, until you find some wheels you like.
BTW, drop that box!
