I'm going to get my andromeda wheels painted gloss black very soon hopefully, but i really don't know what to do about the centre caps.
I've spoke to a friend who is going to paint the wheels and he said it would be a right pain in the arse to paint the original centre caps and keep the chrome w/ red pinstripe, so what to do?

Black orion centre caps (bit pricey at £13 each which im not a fan of spending heh).
Alhambra centre caps (grey background, might not suit).
Paint original caps all black.

If anyone has painted they're andromeda's black can you let me know what you did about the caps (pics aswell?).
cheers
Baggy

Yeah, you need to read one of Naths earlier threads on getting his wheels painted.

He really did use Kenco coffee lids for centre caps!

Work of genius....
