Yeah I was just being a ***. Just leave them silver bro, If your doing it for looks I would keep them silver. If you doing it for other purposes then go ahead and paint them black but with the lip....

Painting them black for brake dust. Dont have to worry if they get dusty or dirty cause there already dark. And when black rims get dirty or brake dusty, they have a nice look to them still.

And yes his rims would look good either way, i guess Im just to trapped up in performance. I need to stop(hahaha).
