Black would probably look badass. Why not powder coat them?

Powedercoat. It's actually not as expensive as you would think. It lasts longer and looks better.

Yea i was actually thinking about doing my rims a black color too, and i def dont got the cash to spend powder coating them, some autozone rim spray paint will be good for me, just do like 6 light coats and it will look nice and finished.

i wouldn't spray paint my rims with tires on, never mind send them to powder coat! they need the tires dismounted. your car looks good as is. black wheels don't fit into your overall look.

definately take the tires off...

1, they can get around the edges better

2, the oven gets to 400 degrees if i remember right, i don't think your tires will like that much

OZ Monte Carlos? ...havent seen those in a looong time


if they were some sort of deep-dish design, I'd say powdercoat 'em black with polished lips... but that style, leave 'em silver - imho, they look good as they are

maybe widen the back ones and throw some 315's on them

im on board with the general concensus here, leave them the way they are, the car has an overall better flow to it with them silver, IMO of course
