Ok I have the procon wheels (pictured below) and I was wondering if anyone painted the outside rim of the wheel a different color? And how did/does it look??
Thanks guys

I haven't seen it on those exact wheels....but I know it can be done. And it looks great! They had painted the outside wall of the rim orange crush to match their rig. Looked good! I say go for it, What color you thinking?

I'd go silver then. OR you could keep them black and do the rest of the rim silver.

If you're maybe thinking of adding color contrast....blue would look really cool. But in that case I'd do blue wall with silver rim. But now were really modifying the rim...lol

I know it's not silver....but you get the idea. If I'm not mistake, those look like the same rims too. I'll try to find one with silver
