Check out what I did to these JPS wheels

Today I went to my neighbors house and used his lathe to polish up a set of the JPS wheels. I polished out four really nicely and then did a quicky on one to experiment with. With this particular wheel, I painted the center of it with Tamiya clear orange. It came out looking sweet, almost like ti was annodized that way. I want to try the clear yellow before I commit though.

I think the center would look better in something other than gold. Anything but gold. Such as bright blue. Or olive drab. Olive drab?
