Well guys you've seen the Box and you've seen the Wheels. I've taken the wheels off and put some stocks on for the winter. My Eurolines are pretty banged up and it's time to get them repaired.
This is where you guys come into play...
I'm debating if I want to color match the insides and the entire lip of the wheels.

Or should I just leave them alone?

first of all. the wheels you have. are aluminum. painting polished aluminum will do nothing but F up your wheels.im not talkin smack, but i spend half my week at a body shop compounding cars and from what ive seen it never turns out good. just keep that in mind, you would have to powdercoat them. and if u do. theres no going back. unless you have them shaved & repolished. and to repolish powdercoated wheels is horribly expensive!!!!!!!

a body shop can paint aluminum wheels but they cant put a clear coat on them. they can only add a hardener in the paint to help from cracking and chipping. they can also prep the polished surface with an adhesive to help the paint stick with it will run off either way. dont dig your self a hole. you have nice genuine wheels. and if u want to keep the value of them. dont go painting them. just sayin.

Thanks for the heads up Camo. I've learned from experience that removing powdercoat is not a fun job. When I had my Accord i had a lot of powdercoated pieces under the hood. Then I hit a Chrome phase and it was a bitch to remove the powdercoat.
Also after putting some thought into it I realized that if I go ahead and either paint or powdercoat I'm pretty much stuck w/that look. I am lucky enough that my Eurolines are dual drilled 4/5 lug bolt pattern so depending on my next car I can throw the wheels that.
So thanks again everyone for the input.
