Thinking about painting my wheels black
I just got new tires yesterday and went a little bigger to take away some of the wheel gap but im thinking of painting my wheels black just for a new look in the summer, i just dont know if it would look good with the dark green and chrome trim. Any suggestions?

umm what sized tire did you get?
by raising the sidewall; you can throw off your speedometer.
Also, black wheels died in 1999.
Big and Rob Murdered/killed them
ESPECIALLY if you have a stock looking car.
and green.
If you really really really want to try it; go to home depot or lowes and pick up a can of plastidip.
plastidip is amazing because you can just peel it off if you dont like it.

Yeah, with the green ...,,the stock rims look best as is.
You could try detailing the cutout openings with a dark charcoal to help accent the spokes.

If you want to get rid of the gap, lower the car. Not get a larger sidewall tire. And to be honest, 225/50 is only a .2" taller than stock, so its not like you really gained much

I have a 2003 TL-S and mine is the charcoal grey color. i blacked out my wheels and all the chrome trim on my car. i think it looks great. idk about your car because it is green but i think black wheels look great on just about any color. i would go for it.

If it was me personally I would just buy new wheels chrome or black if that's the way you want your car to look. I think painting wheels is just a cheep way for getting a more custom look. Again that's me personally. You do what ever you want.
