I am going to paint my centers instead of powdercoat. Gotta take tout the bling look. Looks chrome at night. Dont feel like dismounting the tires and remounting. Now, I am debating if i should leave the rivets hyperblack (chromish) or paint it graphite as well.
btw, i say dont paint the rivets. leave some contrast

You should paint each spoke a different color. You should also paint each rivet a different color. You should then paint each bolt a different color.

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
Why not paint the starboard rivets and leave to port side rivets as is? Then you could swap them once a week. Post pics of both sides.
