Default rims

hey i have a silver ta ws6 and have charcoal zo6 rims on them right now. they are 17' in front and 18 in back. i have a black painted ram air hood and it is lowered. i am thinking about painting them flat black for a meaner look. i don't like how my rims are almost the same color as my car any thoughts guys. i want flat black not shiny and not black and chromes so your thoughts would be helpful

If you want to keep the hood black, then black rims would look fairly good.

Dude I like your car and all, but the hood????? Man, I just dont understand the black hood. Kinda looks like you copied or your buddies are all copying off eachother. Its kida ricer, and the botom of your sig says rice makes you sick. Your car would look so bad *** with a painted hood and the charcoal z06 rims. Infact, I think it would look amazing. Not trying to be a jerk, but I hate seeing Fbods with black hoods and a different color cars.
