Well since I'm missing a chrometech the rest are just gonna get ripped off too. Hows this look?

Or should I paint the centercap too?
The cap that will be on there is the silver one with the pontiac logo and lettering (its under the chrometechs, this is an old pic so its why its not picture)
Or I could get an overlay of some kind from grafxwerks.

Grafxwerks makes very cool liquidome decals, I have them on my motorcycle. I think I like them better with silver center caps to match the lip and lugnuts.

Looks good.

Personally, I think chrometech's would compliment a black car nicely... Just seems like too much black color to me without the chrometech's.
Nice Trans Am.... I had a '78 myself; thing would haul ass like no tomorrow, lol. Pontiac rules !!! (always did...always will..)

the chrometechs did look nice, but they're all pitted and one fell off :( So they look kinda dumb right now. And the regular rims under the chrometechs have some marks on them, so one way or another they are getting done either black with the silver lip, or completely graphite/gunmetal colored.

I dunno, I don't think it makes 'em look too small. But like I said above, something has to be done about them.

I think it would lood good if you powdercoated the whole wheel, if you leave the lip silver it will make the wheel look too small. just my opinion, I've always favored the stealthy look

See I think the other way around. All black makes it look small, plus they just look like stealies.
