Should I paint my rims??

[Freshagen]

So I finally got my car repaired and lowered. While my car was "broken" but still drivable, I had some beater Enkei's on my car that were a gunmetal color that I loved on my car. those tires balded, so I threw on my old 18" rims with plenty of meat.

I love the rims/tires I got now, but the silver on them is just too flashy for me... I like it sometimes, but i think it just disrupts the cars flow... if i wanted flashy, I'd Polish them but I'm also contemplating Painting them a gunmetal color like my beaters. I've done it before and it looks good.

Do you guys think these rims would look good in a dark gunmetal tone??

I've stared at my car for hours trying to imagine.. any opinions?



These were my old Enkei beaters...

try it man. i think black or gunmetal will look good with the color of your car.

That's what I think... but i think the silver looks good in SOME lights? hahaa.. im just being indecisive..

I have a lot of black accents on the car, and i plan on tinting the windows soon.. maybe gunmetal will go well with the tint... ? rrrr

edit: Dude your Sig is hilarious. hahah

They look good the way they are.. but graphite or gunmetal might look OK, if you want them to be slightly less flashy.

Definately do not paint them black.. you could polish the lip and spray the spokes and dish black, but I would only do that if you plan to clear coat them so the black is glossy.

i think gunmetal would go well with your car color. why not try to photoshop it or ask someone to do it for you and see how it turns out?

[Freshagen]

Is that photoshop thread still live? I'll ask him.. I agree with maybe just doing the spokes and cap gunmetal with a gloss finish
