    I'd paint them black and run the ribbed trim rings as that's what I'm running on my light blue 32-5 window. My caps have got the Mercury lettering and script plus I'm running WWW tires.
    Love your car, looks terrific.

    Cast Blast on either the 5 spokes or the steel wheels and caps. IMHO.

    it says the cast blast is not UV protective. will the cast blast still look great and have the same effect with clear on top?
