I haven't seen the 5 spokes this way, but the 3-spokes look fugly! I've seen them black and I've seen them color matched (yllw). Not pretty. Good luck.

I've seen lots of them with the center colored (mine included). Not sure if I have a picture handy. If so I will post it.

I painted my 3 spokes.
They looked great. I quess it depends how and who paints them. I only filled in the snakehead in red and kept raised surfaces and outside areas grey. I tried to e-mail ViperJoe pictures, but your e-mail adress refused pictures.

Here are some 3 spokes, can't find 5 anywhere.

You must be registered for see images attach


Not into it myself, but maybe just the snake would look cool.

NOT the entire center cap OR wheel.....JUST the Viper head or "crest" on the center cap. Kind like the Porsche guys do.
I know "poser" central......LOL!
If you have pics of this please send me a PM
Thanks!

Here are a few pictures of what I did with the 5 spokes on my RT/10. I included several different angles as it does not show up well in pictures. If needed I could take a picture just of the wheel.

Ron,
EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks! Any way you can get a close up of the cap without too much glare from the camera?
Thanks!

Here you go. These were done back in 1997 so they are over 6 years old. I had previously done 3 spokes with the raised portions painted red and decided to do the inside with these.

VJ,

WingKing has beautiful painted center caps on his car. Maybe he can send you some pics. I saw his in person and I was blown away.

Ron,
Looks good. Did you just use touch-up paint to paint them?

Yes. I thought about something like the emblems but could never find out how to do something similar. If someone knows how to make a very thick, deep translucent paint it would be great.

Ron,

Love the Garage. Oh yea, nice "******" for your everyday driving as to not put those miles on the RT/10.

I drool with envy.
