Happy Chinese New Year all!,
I just bought myself some new rims and I'm debating whether or not to paint them another color...
These are the rims I got:
18" Enkei, Gun Metal
Image

I have the 1C4 color on my Solara...
Image
and Lexus Silver is on the top of my list right now...
Any suggestions?
Update: I will be lowering the car so no worries about the HUGE GAP!
Image
Something looks wrong... Is it only me? Or am I just not used to it... =[
Its still WAYYY better than the stock 16s =]

Black, silver, or gun metal would look good.
Have you considered powdercoating them???

By dropping you'll get rid of the black space between which for now I'd say is what makes it look awkward.

The rim color looks good to me.
Just lower it and it will look even better.

I'm on vacation right now, and on the island i've seen a couple of cars down here with their rims painted the same color of the car. Not the whole rim, just a couple spokes on the inside going all around. I will try n take a pic of it to you show how it would look. I think that depending on the color of the car would determine if it would look good or not.

just my 2 cents.
