Opinions please(Wheel Painting)

[LexKy93E34]

I am a new member around here, and recently picked up a 93 525i. I just bought a set of factory basketweaves. Has anyone painted the "spokes" to match the color of the car(black)? I just can't see the result in my head, and was wondering if anyone else has seen/done this. TIA.

You really need a polished lip wheel with a center cap that comes apart to make that week look right. I am guessin that a factory basketweave with black spokes will not look very good. Best thing to do with basketweaves if restore them to factory condition. If you want something custome - get a RA or RS series basketweave from BBS.
