Polish the rest and paint the center 5 spokes the color of the truck. Would look clean with a little work put into em.

i found out that the lip can more than likely return to close to what it was, so what im going to do is paint the 'interior' part of the rim, probably gunmetal or sumthing dark, dnt know about color of truck, and let it go at that..will keep posted

i messed with it yesterday w/ the metalcast colors (ground coat, gunmetal color, clear) came out looking milky, so im about to sand it back down and just go w/ the gunmetal to clear. i think the ground coat is what gave it the milky color
