(Backstory: Hit the curb last week and need to fix some curb rash. I was thinking of re-doing all four rims, to make them perfect, and that means I'd be in a good spot to change up the look.)

I'm looking for ideas for my stock rims. They are currently hyper silver which is the stock color I believe. I thought about going black, but I'm not into blacking out cars. Chrome is an idea, but it mismatches the silver of the door handles. Anyways, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Ideas? Better yet, pics with your ideas?

Here's what the car looks like now (with added curb rash on the front passenger side):





(Ah, meant to edit the title of this thread before I posted. Anyway to do that? I can't delete the thread to start over either.)

 

Spend some time and look through this thread, if you're looking for ideas.

Black on black is played out... ask me how I know.

Silver goes great with black cars, not chrome. Pic below has on mercury silver color wheels and it's one of my favorite set up.

what about gunmetal on black?

 

here is mine

PVD Black Chrome

 

Obviosly you want to keep you OEM wheels.No aftermarket.
Suggest you look at using DupliColor Shadow.Its a kit that
basically tints your wheels darker.You spray on coats until you get
to the color you want.After that,you apply clear coat thats included in the
kit.Its available at most of the auto parts stores for about 25 U.S. bucks.
This would give you a hyper-black look.

 

that stuff only "works" on chrome look... even then it's very blotchy.. had to do that to my center caps and lugs to try and match the black chrome wheels.. good enough but no way I'd do that to a whole wheel.. it'd look like sheiit
