Absolutely correct! Rim's are those spinny things in 22" or larger that go on 1990s Chevy Caprice

I'm a big fan on mid 80's BBS single piece rims.

Did this custom color recently on a set of Ruf's, I call it caramel gold. It changes color with different light, looking forward to Carlisle so I can photograph in the sun where it's deep and rich more like the first pic.

Thanks Steve, they were a challenge especially applying an even, ultralight coat of matte clear. Center cap crests were done in bronze.
