Why do you want them black?

I would say no because I think that the rims and tires would blend to much together, also the black to me would seem kind of tacky with your color.

^^IMO I don't think it would look that good on that color...but you know, it's your car and everything..

I don't know why black. Somthing different I guess. Just a thought, wasn't to sure if I was going to do it, thats why i wanted other opinions.

not black, but maybe a color a little closer to the body color of your car? the colors now kinda clash... like the amber corners on a VR colored 8... either way, might i suggest window tinting? but that's just me

Black rims (especially flat black) look too much like steelies. I wouldn't do it.
Titanium gray with black rims that have polished lip look much better though.

your winter wheels are some of the nicer i have seen, IMO. I wouldn't paint them black at all.

excellent use of the word jobbies

i dont think black on gray looks that great with the stocks either. blends into the tires too much versus the color of the car.

if you paint your wheels black, they are going to look like they're dirty.

Yeah, if there was a lip on those that could be chromed, it would be another story altogether, but the way it is, it would just look dirty :/

i like a black rim but with a silver lip that was there is a foundation for the car to sit on other wise the rims and tires do blend together. but to each his own. post pictures afterwards.
