I know Jamie has painted some snowflakes before. They were painted black and the lip was left untouched. Looked pretty good.

I think the most common were snowflakes, 20 spokes and silver 10 spokes.
 
i did these a few years ago

I have a set of snowflakes that I'm going to paint up the same way, along with a grille to match. I already have a set of 20 spokes and Octi's and silver 10 spokes. Wait, I have 3 Octi's
 
Those snowflakes look awesome, Jamie. I hate snowflakes but the black center makes them look SOO much better.

Reminds me of the BBS and Enki rims from the late 80s.
 
i sold them to someone on one of the lincoln forums, i dont remember which one, or who bought them, but i didnt try them on ebay. the person who bought them also never posted a picture of them on the car either so that person is a douche!! probably one of the Cal's army personel.
 
I painted mine just like jamie did several years ago and now the paint is starting to flake off. They looked good for a while though. Im sure If i would have clear coated the whole wheel it would have been better, but I left the outside bare and it started flaking right at the edge. I dont really mind though. The only time I use them is when I store it in the winter.

You could paint your wheels like a memeber here did. (sorry I stole the pic, but I love the idea)

I'm not feeling the green car's wheels. Too black, imho.

But I love the look on your red one.
 
I wonder how they would look on a white car, id like to see it before i tryed it. I hate snowflakes soooo much.

Here dude, these were the OEM wheels I painted black for my 93, installed them on my 96, then painted them back to silver & sold the car with those wheels!

Here they are freshly painted back to silver with only one clear coat finish!

if your gonna do a solid color your better off getting them powder coated than painting them, but if your going to do like Jamie and and chris then paint them
