    should I or should I not paint my wheels black?

    okay I have these ENKIE rims that I want to paint. why u ask? well thats because when I got the rims, 3 out of 4 wheels have severe curb marks. so I want to paint them glossy black then put white ENKIE decals where they were. and pls. dont say powder coat them because 1. I dont have that kind of money 2. I have to get them shipped out in order to do so. so yeah no pwder coat here. just want some advise if it will look alright with black.

        A black wheel always looks better than silver IMO.
        There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!

          do them in black. if you have a lip make sure you tape off the lip and polish it when the paint dries so youll have some black rims with a polised lip thats what i planned on doing with some '94-96 EX rims. it looks good but thats just in my mind tho

                black rims on a bordeaux red cb7 are the tits.
                but then again, im biased.
                look at my car if youd like an idea of how they will go together.

                  I am usually a fan of black wheels, but I actually like the way yours look as is. I dont know what it is about those but I actually think it would be better silver. Either way it won't look bad though i guarantee.

                    dude its your car paint what ever you want,but if you want to see what it looks like put some cyran wrap around one wheel and heat it with a blow dryer paint it black, if you think it looks good take off the wrap and actually do it. thats my 2 cents.

                      Silver spokes.
