To paint or not to paint
 

I was thinking of painting my stock 8 rims gunmetal or black. i have a ti grey 8, anyone have some suggestions with the 2 colors or if i should just leave them and get aftermarket ones?

i was thnking about getting either enkei rp03, rpf1, or some volkte37....

but i would rather save my money, and use rimpainter.com.

gloss black for me

Personally, I feel like all black wheels kind of disappear. Especially if you have the stock rotors / hubs / calipers behind them. With a nice, shiny set of slotted / drilled rotors and aftermarket calipers it's a totally different story.

Given the choice of colors I would say gunmetal.

Given the choice to go aftermarket I would suggest that route. You get to customize your look to exactly what you like and have the chance to have a set of wheels that are less common. Plus you can slap some winter rubber on the stockers and have a sexy set in winter, too.

The Enkei RP03 look like gunmetal in the shade, but a nicely bright contrast in the Sun.

I personally have no use for black rims unless you're going for a Batmobile look.

Here's PoLaK's Ti Grey with RP03's (which I have recently acquired for my Shinka, btw):
