I got a really god deal on a set of Cragar SS wheels with tires for my '71 last weekend. The only drawback is that they have the typical little chrome bubbles on a couple of them and the chrome rim on one has a nice rust ring around it.

They'll clean up good enough to look good from a distance, but I was thinking about painting them with some charcoal grey or cast aluminum paint.
I hate fake chrome paint, so that's not an option. I would just like to dress them up a little pit.

Cragar is actually selling them with a cast center and black center now, so this could just look like another variation.

If anybody has done this, I would be intersted in seeing them.
