Black ED7...HX's: Paint 'em White or Polish

Hey guys this is how my car currently sits.




I was thinking of painting my rims White with the H Red (like the 96 Spec ITR's) or i was thinking of Polishing my rims.

I'm not sure what'd fit best for my car, What do you all think?

I think your car looks perfect as it is, very clean - JDM. However, I change good too. I think I'd try white.

HXs look great with a polished lip!

HXs look great in white!

On black car, MY vote is for BRONZE.

Word...if you are autox or road-racing. I use 7" RPF1s on the track, and 5.5" HXs for daily duty.

I have VX's painted red. But the red rims are becoming overplayed. I would say keep them black or give the white a try.

white?

polish just the lip. leave the middle black.


OR powdercoat a full color. ie:

bronze
gunmetal (like those HFP wheels you see from the 05-06 package)
dark forest green

that gets my vote. white looks incredibly tacky unless the car matches it exactly....

may as well paint on the side of the car "PULL ME OVER PLZ" in white rattlecan.

if you have to do one or the other then definately go with polished. White wheels on a black car are FTL

Well Guys, My decision was White, But as i was sanding down my rim/s... I liked how it was turning out polished, i was like damn and this is barley the begininng. So i'm going to stick to polished HX's, Once i get tired of them i'll just paint the inner part of the rim. I'll take pictures when i'm done guys, thanks!
