    To do or not to do....Wheel ?

    Ok so im trying to stay fairly stock for now anyways but im considering the idea or painting the stock stlye 18's gloss black. Now Keep in mind Not going to rattle can this job, but doing it right. i have painted plenty of cars/wheels but im not sure I like black wheels on my car (just never been a big fan, kinda played out), but will be lowered in the next few days when the springs for the new struts come in, and im stuck on a color and black seemed appropriate for the white.

    Heres a before and after Photoshop:

    Before


    After (Lowering was Photoshopped too).

        Stay silver. That is all.


        ...oh, and get black trim mouldings. What you need is contrast.

          yea i was thinking white too but wasnt sure if that would clash with the paint.... the car is like a vanilla color so an exact match may be hard but imma photoshop one and see whats up.

                            I'd rock the black wheels + trim, looks nice. Too much white would make your white/red tails stand out more, the black draws some of that attention away from your tails.
