wheel painting decision

i painted the wheels of my gts black and i really liked them. plus i got a lot of compliments on them. so now i'm kinda thinking of doing the same thing to my ralliart.

so here's a photoshop of my RA with a red caliper and a black rim. tell me if you guys think the silver body looks good with black rims, or if they should stay silver.

idk, not enough black on the car imo. Maybe tint the windows or go with like a gunmetalish type color. As for red calipers, i've mentioned before that imo if they're not brembos they shouldn't be red. But, to each his own.

haha, i just dropped it off to get tinted actually.
as for the red, i don't think most people equate red brakes with brembo. i think it's just a good looking and easy thing to do to make your car look a little better. thanks for the opinion though.

Never been crazy about black rims, but those look not too bad.

lol, thanks for the photoshop help haha. i'm actually trying to get one of the side mount license plate brackets from evosoul, but they haven't been on ebay for the past few days. that black mitsu emblem on the front doesn't seem like too bad of an idea either. thanks!
i ordered some rally armor mudflaps yesterday, so combine that with the window tint, side mount plate, and black or gunmetal rims, and my RA should look pretty sick! a drop will definitely be in order in the future. gotta think performance first though...
