unsure y the pictures wont work but anyways my thoughts are as follows

1. paint the lip of the rim ( just a small part almost a pinstripe) the color of my car

2. as you can see i tool the chrome rivets off because they made the rim look smaller so i was wondering if i could get some blue ones if that would help but still may make it look small ...

3. say fuck it and get the whole thing powder coated white ( ide like to see it if anyone has photoshop skills )

any opionions are appreciated

i would say get the spokes powder coated to match your car color or something similar like gunmetal or silver of some sort

 

Black wheels are sooooooooooooooo damn played out. You have a mesh design but the rims are black, it takes away from the wheel itself. Silver would have been much better IMO. If the face was a different color and you can polish those lips (If possible) those wheels would be on point.

 

Are those 2/3 piece wheels? If so, take them apart. Have the face powdercoated silver or something at least lighter than black, and have the lips sent out to be fully polished.

 

I'm not so sure that white would look good with the grey of your car, imo either a polished or silver lip with brushed or color matched center would look perfect.

 

i'm afraid to see some people's wardrobe.
with your color car, white would not look good, at all.

i say go for a silver or gunmetal.
I like CLtotheTL's idea

 

powder coat the center body color. leave the lip black.

 

I wouldn't do that. It would make the wheel look smaller and make the tire look bigger.

 

Powdercoated gun metal would look much better than the current black...

 

thanx everyone ... unfortunatly they are not a 2 piece rim and and im unsure about being able to polish the lip on a painted rim like i have ...

so basically what i got from from everyone is i need new wheels lol .... so in that case any suggestions on colors?

i really enjoy gold rims but unfortunatly on my car color im afraid i would look like a clown ...

 

Gun metal grey

 

you dont need new wheels, they look sexy...just need a diff color.
Triodesigns, has really great taste...look at some of his pictures, gun metal grey would be awesome!

 

rims just look out of place, maybe because they are black and look tiny. i would do a polish lip or something to make them pop a little

 

gun metal face, leave the lips as is, gold hardware.

 

paint them gun metal

 

seeing as they are xxr im assuming they are 1 piece. Unmount the tire, have them powder coated some crazy ass color!

 

ive actually talked to a few friends today and figured gun metal might be my choice ... a polished lip would be great but i have no extra wheels to ride on while all that gets done .. sold the stockies .... ide love to paint them a crazy color but i think on my car color it would look wierd

so for now my winner is full rim gun metal ... any other suggestions or agreements would be much appreciated ... i love the wheels .. the style, the offset and fitment its really good i just need another color

 

Copy XXR's color and powdercoat it Chromium Black-- or even a Liquid Graphite like RJ wheels

 

Paint the lip gunmetal or the car color, AM, leave the center black and give the rives a silver or gunmetal color (or visaversa)! They are nice wheels, just need a little boogie in them!!
