If you paint the fiskes, only paint the center.

I vote polished fiskes.

I think the Fiskes look better, black, silver, polished, whatever. But then, it's a track car, right? Which will be faster?

Beautiful car! Is that your "track car" or your "race car"?

Black looks bad-a$$, but those fiskes are nice wheels...I think I like the idea of painting the middles & leaving polished lip......very nice car either way!
