Question Keep them or paint them?? *Pics inside*

Im thinking about painting my wheels. The are Rays gram lights 57f 18x8.5. I was thinking gold as you can see or maybe a charcoal or gunmetal. I am going to want to get a cf trunk/hood sometime soon also. What color do you think i should go with?

Normal...



Photo Shopped...

I like the gold, but I'd skip the CF hood and trunk. Keep it simple.

The gold does look very nice. If it was me i would paint them black, but leave the lip polished.

Keep them silver and get strakes. WBs look very clean with silver wheels, strakes, and clear corners. And get some tint
