Default Keep rims black or paint silver?

I'm not really fan of black rims, but I got them for a great deal. A lot of people are saying that silver makes it look more clean, And a lot of people are saying that black completes the blacked out look. I want your guys opinions on them.

The sliver looks a lot better. The black rims look kinda "dirty" not clean. If the rims were a different style i might say keep them black but not with those rims.

BTW i would make the rims lexus hypersliver.

i'd say if you stay black, go lower, if not, just get silver wheels....

Thanks for the input guys. Im definitely lowing my car soon, no question about that. Onesicksc, your car is hot bro. I want to do the rims black and lip silver, but the problem is that my rims dont have much of a lip so i dunnno.

Do you guys think the lip would still look good w/ these rims?
btw, ignore the dirtyness and rocks stuck in rims, that has been taken care of lol

jeeze....how do you get rocks in there!!???....who mounts your wheels!!??....holy $%&*

BTW, do the right thing and paint them silver, that style of wheel in black looks terrible. Duplicolor makes a nice silver mag wheel paint as well as a nice clear coat,. buy it at Autozone.

those rims don't have any lip so that option is out of the question.
