to Paint or Not to Paint Rims ????

[sosamaya]

Hey guys.

I'm thinking about paiting my rims black and yellow.

I did a quick photoshop of how they will look agains how they look now.

What do you think.?????

Should I paint them or not???

Tough to say....I have mixed feelings. I really like the painted look but I think it might wear on you after awhile. Those are some of my favorite wheels for the Boxster so I like them stock. However, the painted look is very original. I think they may look just a bit too dark....

Personally, I'd leave them as is. They are great looking wheels.
I've never been a fan of black center/different color wheels, especially the home-made variety.

No go on the paint.

a) It's been done before.
b) It's hard to match the colors.
c) Colors will fade, paint will chip.
d) Possibly harder to resell.
e) Factory rims look great!

Go for it!
The only silver on the car is the rims, so they need to be blacked out. And I like the yellow accent.

Of course my opinion is biased as my summer rims are black, but I think they would look good in a black satin finish. Maybe a thinner yellow line around the outside and dont paint the rivets, or paint them the matching yellow, although that may be overkill.

I personally do not like the yellow/ black wheel combination. It's just too much.

Do it but paint your bumperettes too!
