    My bullitts aren't in the greatest shape, and they've had the rattle can treatment a couple times. I'm either going to have them professionally repainted a gloss black, with clear in the same way they are painted now...

    Or...(this is where it gets interesting)

    Paint them all black...yes black everywhere. I'd paint the spokes and lips black, then add a red pinstripe around the edge of the bead/lip.

    Here's what they look like now:



    I know it's not the same car but I'd basically be going from this:



    to this,



    Here's a link to the only all black bullitts I've ever seen

    I gotta do something with my bullits too. I like the idea, I should do it too... or maybe just the whole lip red where the silver starts.

    No matter what, they won't be all black. The closest thing would be all black with a red lip.

    Thanks...I just want to try something different.

    No red lugnuts...if I did the red lip/bead the red anodized lugs would look cool.

    I would go gunmetal, but everybody has that...and my fascia-halves are black already. With the black half fascias, I want black on the wheels.

    Hate to say it...but BoostJunki3's car is really what I'm going for as far as stance/black fascias/bullitt wheels. Don't want to copy anybody, but that car is 2Sik.

    I really wish that was in the budget...but I'm a broke college student.

    The only thing about doing the WHOLE lip is that my wheels don't look like that. There would be no separation between the wheel lip and the spokes...as there is with a flat lip.

    Lol that's exactly what I was suggesting. Do it..... so I know to do it or not lol

    No seriously, I bet it would look tight, because there is still that separation between the rim and the lip and that's what the red is for.
