I want to paint the air vent thing on my set of calais rims but i'm not sure what colour will look best.. what colour have most people on here painted them if they choose to do so?? I'm thinking black, silver or gunmetal grey.

I'm thinking black, silver or gunmetal grey. most people usually paint them a polished silver look bud for that u just get some elbow grease and some good polish an your set! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I thought if i polished down in the cut outs it wouldnt turn out too nice because its heavily textured? I've spent 2 days per rim just wet sanding alone then about 40 minutes polishing each one so im kinda over polishing for now haha! I saw an older corvette that had a similar wheel design and it looked pretty good with the face polished and the black inside.

Yeah andy he means the scallops, vent holes etc, i'm gonna paint mine VHT aluminium heat proof, only because i have it laying around, then im going to polish them (just the main rim face)
