Too paint wheels black or NOT???

so do you guys think i should paint my wheels black...or leave them the silver/grey that they are?

2 of them have some curb marks on them.....so the little lip is black with scrathes and gouges.

ive been on the fence with painting them black or leaving them the way they are....but im just not sure anymore..


but now they i scraped up another when leaving the bank.....i really wanna do it because i think the black will match the tint nd vortex generator.


whats your guys opinions...

heres a pic.

Black wheels look good but i'm starting to realize how common it is. I think they look good the color they are, maybe just do a refresh on the paint or get them powdercoated.

Id leave them or fix the curbage and redo them the same color. Your wheels are too nice to "hide them" in black. The more I see black wheels, the more I want to do any other color. I agree with -Its a 7- Way too common going black nowadays. But in the end, your call.

i thought black wheels and were very common... until i decided to try them myself and as far as looks i couldnt be any happier with how they look... i painted the mitsu diamond star red and the whole rim black... i vote for black... just keep in mind that if you dont like it and wanna go back to the same finish you have now its going to be pretty tough... good luck!!!

I couldn't have said it any better. I've said it many times and I'll say it again: why spend all that $$$ on wheels just to make them blend in? Black wheels "used" to be unique, but since everyone and their grandmother has done it, it's getting old.

The reason black wheels are getting "played out" is because every retard with a rattle can paints his stock wheels black because he's too ******* cheap to pay to powdercoat them or actually buy black wheels.
