Default opinion on blacking out rims on tarnish silver v?

like the title says. keep stock colored v wheels or do black/charcoal painted v rims look better on light tarnish silver v's?

I've always thought your rims and car were pretty badass overall. The black chrome looks great. Black chrome grill and emblems too would be awesome I think.

That's funny because i have been wanting to do that exact same thing.

Now should I leave the chrome trim though is my question and matching the trim to the powdercoat is my big fear?

D3 has done it but im not sure how and it would be not cost effective to send it out there

Sorry for the thread jack btw

I vote: Trim in black to match the car, grill to match the wheels!
