Thinking.....Black
Thought about painting my stock rims black. Seen some pictures of some nice rides members have here that have black rims.

Sorry man but the car looks pretty damn good like it is. Black wheels will just get lost on your car. JMO.

I sure will, and i understand eddies opinion its a taste. Im putting the red line around on the outer lip which a few others have already done on here. I just want dark stealthy look. Got the Limo tint on her, just need the wheels done and an inch lower. goodluck with your project

I'd paint them black and then machine the outer surfaces.

IMHO it just looks to much and the tire and wheel get lost in each other.. If youre going to do it it needs some kind of seperator.. be it a red strip or a machined lip.,. black and black can look good..
