Lets hear your opinions on the different looks for my draglites. Im leaning more toward the 2-tone keeping polished lip more then anything.

I vote to leave them as is. I think if you paint the centers it will make them look like steelies

Definitely stay as is! All black wheels look horrible IMO...no relief or contrast seems to destroy the cars lines. JMO though...which counts for naught.

I've gotta be honest, based on the pics there, in all black... they look like someone absconded with the hubcaps that should be on there. I'm assuming they'd have more gloss than the photochopped preview, which would make the two tone look fairly good, but in the long run, my vote for looks still goes for what you have already, and my vote for functionality goes against the added weight too. Drag wheels don't exist for looks, that's what the wheels getting you to/from the track are for, anyhow!

Nah, i dont even keep the R's on the car. When i put the draglites on they stay on until the dragradials go to hell then i switch em over until i get new tires put on.

btw the only reason for wanting to paint em (which ill use plastidip so its easy to change back..), is both passenger side wheels looked to have got some kind of cemical on em (i bought them used) that wont seem to come out, and ive probably spent 7-8 hours trying to polish them.

Find a guy that polishes at a truck stop.....I like them as is. Painted they look like CVPI wheels.

If your dead set about changing the color, check out dipyourcar.com - They sell plasti dip wheel kits for a pretty good price, what about sprayin them gunmetal grey? That'll deinately look better than all black imo.
