herc i DID NOT paint the wheels AT ALL. The wheels came painted! Ben that is EXACTLY what i WANTED to do with MY polished Torque Stars that I TRADED AWAY. i MIGHT spray some gloss over the top of them to help them stand out but idk yet.

'01 GT, yah i like just the star being black, i thought itd be really neat so tried it on my car and I like! I may actually try something like that on my wheels since there just the winter crappy 1's smile I would feel bad painting them since there hard to come by though, and eventually I may end up selling them and alot of the time the all black look probably wouldnt look good on a majority of grand prix's without like tinted tails or window tint.

Get some 18" American Racing Casino's like me only in black, they would look great on your car espically if you get a chrome lip around the edge.

The T-Stars look better in black than my old tri-stars did...not everyone digs the all black look...I always liked it on black cars and maybe white or red. I think it lends a good contrast and has that "all business" kind of appearance.

I may very well go back to black wheels on the T-Bat since I may have to have tires in the spring for inspection...plus I'm little weary of the hard ride with the 18s...still havent found a wheel that really grabs me yet but still looking.

If you wanted to add a little accent you could do chrome lug nuts (or red anodized) and possibly even a thin red pinstripe arond the lip of the wheel (a'la NASCAR rims)

Looks good with the dark tint and the black grilles. thumbsup

Different strokes for different folks I guess...

But that's not going to save you from a beating the next time I see you!

Looks pretty clean, some black gloss will look even hotter.

big improvement over the ugly chrome torque stars.
