Mine look similar to Gideon's, minus the cap and trim ring. I took barbecue paint (1200 degree) flat black, then hit it with clear coat enamel. Not a real good paint job, just to cover up the rust star patterns that form. When I was looking at rims, I liked the black Motegi rims 16 inch is on my wish list, combined with Michelin pilot sport A/S 3's. I don't have pics, but if I remember, will do and upload by the weekend, if wanted. The cans were pretty cheap and layin around really, from an old purchase or 3. At the same time (I used the lift at work), I took that same bbq paint and hit the front of the exhaust, and took gloss black to the rest of the exhaust. I also bought 2 cans of 3M undercoating and sprayed the underside a bit better than the factory, not only for rust prevention, but also sound deadening. When I change out the speakers, I will also put dynamat or a facsimile thereof on the doors to quiet the road noise. But, painting the steel wheels is the cheapest route.
