Default To paint or not to paint?

Should I paint my wheels on my Integra? I was thinking of painting them black. Anybody have pics of a Integra with black '99-01 GSR wheels?

mmm wingless, paint em black to match the lip and the hood looks carbon fiber, i think it would look nice, i've never seen black gsr rims in that style.

EDIT: 100 Posts woohoo!

Don't paint those wheels! I like those rims nice and polished like they are. if you want black rims I'd sell those and buy some other rims and paint them. You can prolly get money for those.

I just feel bad cause they are nice and chromed out it would be a waste to paint them. Just my $.02

Given those two cars, I'd take the GSR.

dont paint the wheels!!! i agree, if you want some black rims, get some volks or something that also look nice, but those stock rims look better like that.

andrekun~ who has those rims on his teg and would never ever paint them X_x

DO NOT PAINT, i have seen those same wheels painted and they look like complete $h!T, so save your trouble and either get some other wheels to paint or leave those alone. You can easily sell them too as the demand for those is soooooo high, at least here in Canada they are madly wanted.
