Default To Black Or Not To Black...

The Top secret Titanium took a big bite of the budget this month, so Im forced to postpone the wheels till later on, but till then, I was thinking of painting them in a gloss black finish... what do u guys think? black them out or not? does it look good with the blacked out paint? heres a photoshop pic to help narrow it down...

Stock Wheels:



Painted Wheels:






lemme know what u think...

peace.

LOL is that a palace in the background?

I vote no, keep them as is and wait till you can afford some quality wheels. They stockers look good as is and messing with them will just depreciate them IMO.

I think it looks good both ways... but I vote leave them stock for now. It looks stealth enough with that gunmetal look. Sometimes the black on black puts it over the top. But either way... Bad *** Car!!

I would not paint OEM GTR wheels... I'd just wait to upgrade. Maybe throw on some clear side markers and change the lug nuts to gold so they match the Brembo's...

I think thats a much better idea than painting the wheels, go for it! The color match looks pretty good.

I would say do everything possible to avoid painting those, especially on a GTR.
