Default Help me decide (a wheel color)

Well I picked up some wheels for my car (coming in mid july) and I was think about painting them... since there are no tires on them and my cousin is a painter so he can do all 4 for the cost of the paint.

My car is 2008 IS250 Starfire Pearl (white)

I was thinking of color matching the wheels I bought. Or maybe do a custom black chorme? Or most likely leave it.

here are the wheels

Sherlock Society M22

Full Diamond Polish:



Any other color sugestions?

Paint? Na get them powder coated baked on coating and they can customize any color, two or three tone, faded with a baked on clear coat. Lifetime warranty from cracks or fadding. Paint fades...

Yeah I'm going to leave them. For now at least... The thought just passed my mind and I wanted to know what everyone thought. I was thinking it would be nice to have one off wheels.

I am goin to agree with the rest leave them. Save money and time. Plus it looks better like that IMO. Post pics or have someone photoshop all 3 colors if you can't decide.

No Toques! They're fine as is. There's a lot of surface area so if you paint them, there will be a lot of color, which might look weird. My .02
