I do NOT have pictures...but I'll voice my opinion and say you should keep them the stock color or the chrome. It looks smoother/cleaner when rolling.

I would also like to see these on a white SC, but I think chrome are the best.

Black wheels are lost in wheel arches. I'd keep them silver.

I have a set of TT's (non chrome), been wanting to do something with them for a while. Ideally I'd love chrome ones, so I might try PlastiDip'ing them with the chrome metalizer and seeing how it turns out..

Was considering a black metalizer but I'm not too fond of the blacked out look either.

You guys are right, Im just curious to see how they would look especially on black Sc's. I should of been more specific when i said "painting" I was just thinking of just plasti-dipping them. That way i can just take it off if i dont like it.

Hot pink gets my vote too!

I've seen a set of black TT wheels once and they were pretty ugly. They only look good in chrome or hot pink.

Here's my road race SC with 9.5" supra wheels front and back. They're polished under the black paint. Didn't feel like polishing them all the time, so painted them. Car is really dirty

The below pic is not my car but those used to be my wheels. I had them on an identical car but traded. Anyway the new owner painted them. I prefer silver or chrome but this don't look half bad!

You can use aircraft stripper to remove the paint if you don't like it. That's how I stripped the silver paint off the stock wheels to polish them. It takes about an hour to do, with most of the time waiting.

Re-spray painting them back to stock, or any color is easy. I could re-polish with ease after stripping too. You don't really need plasti-dip, although it may be easier.

Thanks for the advise but i got the Chrome ones so Ill avoid stripping anything and just PlastiDip if I go that route.
