I think black rims make the car look like an old, beat police interceptor.

theres already lots of black on the car (the trim, back panel on the trunk)

What the heck it doesnt look that bad im not too fond of black rims. I love my alloys or chromes. :wink:

I personally don't like that style of rim at all. I think making it black will look even worse. 5-spokes or crosslace are the way to go. Thats just my oppinion though.

I would just polish those rims...Hell I like that style better than my sawblades...

 

If you want black rims, go get some steelies

Yeah, ones that aren't just solid (have venting for the brakes) look good...but his wouldn't look any better than some black steelies.

 

That pic has a cutlass that looks just like mine but I know it isn't! Who's is it?

Sorry man, but I think that looks really ugly!!!

 

If you really want to paint them, I think the Pace Car paint scheme looks better than that.

I was thinking about picking up a set of those for my Prix, and painting them just like that. There's a set in a junkyard I frequent.

I like the way my Cutty looks with black crosslace wheels but its also a grey coupe. I think you be better of getting them resurfaced and leaving them with the alloy finish, cause there is way too much contrast between burgandy and black. Just my 2cents

If you get the lip polished, it would look a lot better.

 

Lip? elaborate please

 

rim

That photoshop is kinda deceiving. It looks like crap that way (IMO). But gloss black with a silver lip would look better.
