Noooooo dont paint them red :shock:

I painted the centre caps of my original 15\" with i'm not to sure what colour silver metalic paint and the was only a slight difference in between the wheel and centre cap, one that you could ony notice if someone pointed it out :D

Apart from that how is the beast going :?:

Yes, that paint matches the NB8A wheel centre EXACTLY. I have used this on Malibu sucessfully. There are heaps of pics of the car about. I might even try to find one showing the wheels. :D :D :D

I used Septone \"Wheel Silver\" about $3 at soopercrap, it was a close enough match for me, even had the hammermill finish same as the wheels.

Anyway, any colour silver is a closer match that green....

Hahaha, thanks. That's what Malibu looks like 10 days after a wash. You should see it when it's fresh!
