Just decided that if I ever had to paint my wheels, this is how they'd look.
I was bored so I was messing around in PS and decided to change my wheels to gunmetal with a polished lip.

Keep those wheels the way they are. I agree the GM with polished lip looks good on most wheels, but I think it'd ruin that wheel.

I think it would be a royal PITA to try to mask off the lip and just paint the spokes.

I think they look great the way they are in silver, althought they wouldn't look bad in gunmetal with the polished lip.

silver looks good on your car, the gunmetal with polished lip looks hot too but i'd keep em the way they are (if you did plan on doing this)

Yeah, I've got some closer pics than that (if only digital pose's site would open right now).....the car is lowered more so it looks better now than in the pics. I'll post some up once digitalpose works again. Oh yeah, I wasn't planning on painting them like this, just bored and messing around and thought it looked pretty good.

i saw some nice new 5zigen wheels, that look kinda like SSR competitions, but way cheaper.. gunmetal w/ a polished lip.. looks nice.. plus they were either 15's or 16's.. save you money compared to those 17" tires..

IMO, i think silver looks better 'cause the color of your car really draws attention to 'em

Maybe I've just seen too many C-2's , but I like the gunmetal better than the silver. But if you do change the color and try to sell them later it will probably kill the value of you'r wheels.

I don't like the bigger sized rims, but your car looks really nice the way it is. You should leave them like that. Very clean
