Those turned out well, but what's up with the chrome trim? SO distracting.

Flat black FTW! Looks good. Someone photoshop a white coupe with those caps in flat black. Can you clear-coat flat black or will it defeat the purpose (make them shiny)?

If you clear it will make it just a shinny black color.

Painted rims with a fart can a la carte. Love it.
Why would you want to paint them? They are plastic rims, you can paint them and all that , but you will just be polishing turd. Just save up and buy a decent tire/rim combo if it matters that much. It's worth it I think.
