Default Should I paint my factory WS6 rims?

Black painted rims are photochoped on my white WS6, should I actually paint them?

I like the way the black rims look. Goes with the vents, side molding and emblems that you did. I would get some sort of black rim. Either paint yours or some sort of black aftermarket.

Why to be like everyone else who has the cash for them?? I used to think high end wheels were the way to go too, but being different is always better.

I personally like the look your goin for man, it goes with all the other black accents on the car. Just get the windows tinted also & you will be golden.

Some interesting ideas on that chop. I really like the 18's, but already invested $600 in widening the factory ones. So I'm stuck with them. I going to lower for sure, tint = questionable because I don't like getting hastles by the police, it is illegal here. Hood strip=maybe, I just had a ram-air 380hp decal made for there, cost $50. The rest I might have to get some opinions on, but not bad to look at. Thanks for the chops, I'll show the black TA owner the 18's on his car, he looking for some new ones.

sam23: Take a side photo of your car and post it up, PM mumu_624 and ask him to chop the black rims on it for you (if he wants to), he seems to be pretty good at it. May as well get it lowered and some 18"s aswell... heh

That's a sharp *** TA, SiL3NtXWS6.

To the OP, I think they look better black on that white car. So, yes.

I think you would be better off going with either chrome or white powder coat.

And.... lose the strips. Just white is the way to go on the car's paint.

i usually don't care for black wheels, but with the polished lip - those look a look better than the stock look

Looks great SiL3NtXWS6! I dont think it would look that good on my SOM car though. I thought about it though, SOM needs high polished or chrome.

Judas, I say strip the side molding and paint the wheels like SiL3NtXWS6's. Oh, and drop it!
