It'll look crap.

It'll look better than rust coloured and even if painted pink wont look as crap as your Passhat

Erm, as opposed to what other type?

Was gonna say the same thing. They are quite big and apply pressure to 330mm discs so they are far from pretend :confused:

I have yet to decide on a colour. Here are two potential choices shown behind the wheels I have (On a 530i SE and a 540i Sport, although both are rear wheels):

You need to drive your car to get rid of that horrible rust on the disc .

I'd just washed it.

Why you'd paint the hub is also beyond me..

So it looks tidy - otherwise the hub is rusty and yuck?
