Tell me the truth, should I paint them black, can't afford new rims, so I think black would look good. I know the mirror tint looks gay too, I bought the car with that and will hopefully be changing it to black soon. let me know the truth ok. thanks

Hi there volumebikertom, do you mean the front window tint? My car has a silver tint and I like it which is on the two sides and back. For the front, I had a tint place install legal 6" in the center and 8-10" as it gets closer to the ends. As for the wheels, I would leave them originally and just keep them clean. When I had my SS silver painted wheels, that's what I did and people liked them. Later

leave them silver. Spuds should have painted his white, they would have looked 10x better on his white T/A.

You can pull off the mirror tint by hand.
