Painted Hub Caps on LS
Painted Hub Caps on LS
I was wondering if anyone had pictures of the stock LS hub caps painted. Prefferably black. I just want to know how tacky it looks or if it's worthwhile
I don't see it looking well...
I played around with that once in photoshop, I don't have that file, or photoshop on my computer now or i'd show you. I think the best bet is leaving them as they are, then save up and get rid of them.
just be glad they are decent looking hub caps, for hub caps that is.

Honestly... you may just want to take the caps off and go with the steelies... Most likely its gonna look tacky.... and since your steelies will be black.. It probably wont be worth the time or effort... just my opinion

"**** tight no slack, Just bought a Pontiac, THROW SOME HUBS ON THAT BITCH..."
i was actually thinking about painting the spokes only get some look out of them but, in the end its still too tacky and too much work. instead im saving for my 17"

Read that thread. He ended up painting them a metallic spec black and they looked actually ******* amazing.
Look at post 57 and 70
If you take the time, just like anything else. they can look good

buy some damn hubcaps from walmart for 20 bucks, the time and cost of spraypaint together far outweigh that of some 20 dolla hubs, if you really want hubs that "look nice" 
I've seen these 15/s that streatch to 17/s wit an extra lip, but they like 40 bucks...

I thought about doing the same to mine since I am so poor and I cant afford rims at this time. I wanted black because my car is red. I then thought about it..the way others did..if I painted them black it be like taking my caps off...

If you painted your caps right. they wouldnt look like the steelies. Or as stated you could always touch up your steelies and then hit them with the lip for a different look.
i have a pic
when they're spining u cant really tell as much
ps-i got real rims now, so dont go talk **** about me for doin this, it was just temporary
