I love the look of Satin or Gloss piano-black rims
BUT - it looks so awkward when the tires are dull and nasty looking - but the rim shines!

GG is tough - but I would go something bright and contrast like orange, gold, green, bronze, etc.

Bump.

Here's my stockers that I repainted in Metallic Graphite. I painted them over a year ago, it's somewhat durable...but I need to refresh them a bit, some rock chips and I curbed one a little bit .

Some quick shots of Phyllis with her refinished shoes on. Dirty as hell cause it rained this morning .





Good writeup Boondoc .
