        yes, yes, and yes :D


        You've got a great silver/black contrast on your car, and black centers with silver lips would look perfect!!!


        What color is the pinstripe on your car btw, I'd be interested to see how it'd look with the pinstripe removed.

                  I would def do it!

                  But I am not digging the gloss, maybe an anodized effect or something similar. Gloss black wheels look out of place I think.

                    i rekon it looks hot TJ..but i guess i would.....im actually liking how they look like they have a satin finish in the photoshop....with the siilver lip, the satin finish would look good..with a polished lip id go for gloss centres...but either way...

                    i dont see how black centres can be classed as 'rice' either...the term rice is starting to get used way too liberally!

                        i think it would look awsome. your car has a fantastic black / silver combination. everything contrasts very well, i think the painted wheels (like in the above pics) would look very good.

                        hell either way it looks good, but if it were me, id go black

                          I have painted bottle caps. The rims alone look good really good, satin or gloss. This is coming from a guy that loves black rims with polished lips, but i got to say your car is silver it doesn't look at nice as a darker car in my opinion. My vote has to go with leaving it silver, i think its more classy silver. Painting them black will give it a more sporty look. Don't get blinded by all the postive feedback, u might regret it one day even though tis' not a big deal.

                            I already know what black rims look like on my car, my bottlecaps are black too.

                              But if you are going to do it, don't do it gloss; a satin finish would look much better. I think it would blend with the other black on the car better.

                                I'm stumped. I say flip a coin (only one time, no redoes).
