Default Painting my rims again, what do you think of this color?

Well my car came with the ghey 16" z28 rims, so I bought the stock 17" SS rims which look wayy better. They were silver and I painted them onxy black which looked cool for a while. Then I polished the lip on them. they look pretty good now (especially when its moving). But I wanna paint them something different but cool looking.

Heres a pic as it is now.


I kinda want to paint them this color



would that look like crap or not?

I dont hate the black, but if its not freshly cleaned and glossy it looks bad, and I duno I just want something a little different.

That would look way better, maybe even do a polished lip?

Ok-heres big help-You cant miss with either color! I love the black wheels on a white car, or any color for that matter. I have black tt's on my black SS and I think they look great, but the gray would look hot as well-use your best judgement, I say either way you have a winner.

My wheels are similar to the color you are looking at. I like them OK but to be honest I think I am about to paint my spokes black or just sell the wheels altogther. See the attached pic
