#59328, "Black rims on my car? Yay or Nay?"


          

The finish on my silver Motegi's is getting kinda shotty in some small spots in the inside of a few spokes...hardlynoticeable...but I'm thinking of just painting my rims gloss black.

So....the rims on my car, gloss black with silver centercaps still. Can soemone photoshop this pic for me....any advice/suggestions are welcome.

I was just thinking to Make the rims black and smoke my taillights -- would give my car a mean/aggressive look.

ya personally I think they look perfect the way they are. I can only see chrome if not silver on your rims. Not sure if black will flow with the rest of it.

Hmm....Ive just had these in silver for so long..and I kinda wanna try something new.

I can always repaint them Silver again....not sure what I'm gonna do, but if/when I paint them I will post pics.

p.s. I'm not blasting or powdercoating anything....can't really afford it. If i came to something that drastic, I would sell these and get some 19's....but I dont see that happening.

im gonna go against the grain on this one and say go with the black. the silver looks great and i was a little iffy on the black until i saw that photoshop. i personally love dark rims but its all in personal preference. you cant go wrong either way imo:thumbsup

I say no to black paint. If you paint your rims, the finish will not be perfectly smooth and will look not as good as you like. I would only paint stock rims. I think your's look better silver, and if you really want, save up 200 for powdercoating.

i like the silver, but if you do want to go with black rims, get some with a polished lip. dont just paint your currents emoji

i think they would look pretty badass though. especially if you ever want to go with a CF hood later on down the road.

you always keep your car looking good ryan emoji
