Choice has been made!

Here's what I decided to do with my wheels. I used the recommended plastiic type paint, First I washed and cleaned each wheel inside and out. Then masked the scoops between the spokes (just out to the outer rim edge), wiped it down with lacquer thinner to rid it of all other foreign materials and sprayed them. I then removed the tape while the paint was fresh and used a paper towel, dipped in Lacquer thinner, to "rim" the edge. Once the paint was dry to touch (15 min in Arizona) I moved on to the next section. Took me about an hour a wheel once I got going and overcame my fear of painting this beautiful car's wheels. See what you think... Makes the spokes look longer, the wheels look taller, deeper and really pops out the yellow brake calipers. I love the added black to set off the Carrera White paint! I'm happy.
