Custom rims: Cost me $20 (well, plus $175, sorta)

Took some black steelies... (actually, I bought the set, with new tires, from a guy who just bought a new Camaro, wanted aftermarkets... sold the set for $275; I can sell my OLD rims, with the worn out tires, for $100... so, really, $175 net for the new tires).

Took the steelies, invested $20 into masking tape and yellow paint. Spent some time tapin' and sprayin,' ended up with these... IMO, beats the holy heck outta the plain black steelies!

The trim rings look much nicer on than off. Keep them on.
