Was thinking of painting my winter rims black, can I get some honest feedback on this idea? Hey if anyone wants to photoshop it for me I would appriciate it. I am with out photoshop. Thanks

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.

RENESIS_NEENJA 11-07-2006 01:23 PM

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

Roto8 11-07-2006 01:38 PM

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

Yeah, not feelin' the gold on silver. Maybe on black or blue-ala subie rs

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.

yeah, thats what I have for my summer jobies. Gray with the chrome lip.

Why not powder dust that caps?

TomAssBender 11-07-2006 11:28 PM

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

NgoRX8 11-08-2006 01:31 AM

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.

Roto8 11-08-2006 10:37 AM

Yeah, I appriciate all the feedback, I think I am just going to leave them alone. Thanks again to all!

I see a red door and I want it painted black...

Mugatu 11-08-2006 11:51 AM

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

RENESIS_NEENJA 11-08-2006 11:55 AM

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 just painted my stock set black, check it out.
