Default wheel color opinions (pics)

deciding if i should stay with the color wheels i have now, or get the inside powdercoated like a flat to satin black. so i plasti-dipped one rim to see what it looks like, so if i dont like it i can just peel it right off...what do you guys think?


how the rims are regularly


and with the black plasti dip




i know its hard to say that they look good, i bet if it was on the ground it would look better...but lets get some opinions, thanks guys

no need to say i think i may have made my point here clear but i f'in love color matched lips... i say u paint the lip the color of ur car and do the face black!

also i suggested to another member... go on lexani website and choose a rim similar to urs. they let u paint the rim on the rim-figurator or watever so u can get a better idea

I like the before look personally, but I can understand that boredom sometimes occurs.

i agree with you...once i mounted it and dropped it to the floor, me and the wife decided because of the color of the car, it needs to have a shiny rim to bring the color out more, we feel like the black dulls the paint job.

A nice gloss black face might look pretty good. Flat black wheels remind of an old spare tire.
