Default Thinking of picking these up MRR Rims

One of my clients offered to sell me his old rims cause he is gonna sell his car. They are not powder coated candy black like these... but after searching for some images on a black gs i saw this. What do you guys think about painting them?

I wouldn't paint them... here is my car with them on... no coilovers on yet.. also if you run 9.5's in the front you will need 5mm spacers to clear stock brakes

i saw this pic not long ago... and thats actually why i started probing my client to sell his to me. I'm not a big fan of the painted rim but when i stumbled across the one i liked the look so i posted it figured i'd ask CL ... i am an addict of impulse purchases and decisions lol

im guilty as well.. actually the rims don't look too bad on the picture you put.. but I just fear they might come off too little on the ghetto side! Im glad my picture influenced someone its like a compliment lol.. you guys haven't seen anything yet! I just ordered megan lp coilovers. These rim slammed looks sick I promise you. I might just be the only 2nd gen matador red lexus

Here is my car with staggered MRR's. Love the wheels, but downsized to 18's because I moved to the city. Might go back to these wheels someday:

HypeBeast that's exactly how mine would look... redgs300 its def a compliment -

Hypebeast - What size and offset are the wheels and are you using spacers? That looks clean and simple, I likes!

If this ^^^ is what your car is going to look like than do it I like the black on black better than the grey/polish wheels.

I like the candy black look.

Refinish them to this colour then it'd look baller. Otherwise I'm not a fan.

I think my mom has a dinner plate like that.

believe it or not one of the reasons why I got these rims is they are MUCH easier to clean then regular rims.
