I don't think that would look so hot bro! Maybe white rims on a white 8 but definately not on a black one. Go with black or stay with the silver. Just my opinion!

I tried posting a reply but Idk if it went through, stupid iPhone, so I'm going to try this again.

Again all comments and opinions are appreciated just don't be rude I agree that black on black is nice. It looks really good. But for what I want it's a little too dark. If I had a white 8 then I'd go black rims. If I decide to paint them I'm going white or gold.

Thanks for the pic above. Looks good. Keep em comin.

in my opinion, gold only looks nice on this spoked rims. not the stick bulky rims..to much gold.

i think it would be sick, just paint your oem ones, if you dont like them, paint them again. they're 'only' oem rims

I say no to white
I would go with a Gunmetal or darken titanium color. IMO that would go best with black
