Serves two purposes - 1) Protects your rims and 2) Accentuates the black wheels to the painted car (like the above picture). Look at the RimBlades site. If you don't like these, there are several others. Just search for Rim Protectors and the sites will pop-up.

Nice to see you did a good paint job, nothing worse than a two tone car.

Those look ok. Thanks for the input. This winter i want to paint the inside of the headlights black or yellow. They are so hard to get apart though.
