I think it's cool but maybe you should sell you rims and buy some black ones instead of painting. I think it works on white cars but mine is grey so there is no way i'd do that.

I like how it looks. Black or gunmetal on white is a good combination IMO.

Peace,

Lyle

I like it, but agree with others about gunmetal or graphite possible looking better.

Indy,

I think your car looks better with silver wheels! But the black doesnt look that bad!

I usually don't like painted rims, but they work with white cars. I'd to it, or find a way to sell your rims and get a pair of black ones.
