I have black enkei rims, just can't decide between black or white for the cars paint. The rims will stay black though. Any preference? I'm dead even and having trouble picking, 98 ls

i picked it up for 700 bucks and turbo'd it, the body is bad and I need to fill some spots and paint it, I just plastidipped it temporarily but I'm ready to paint it now, so it's no color under the dip, just some primer and faded paint

So paint the wheels if you don't like it after the fact, black on black is always good but its hard to make it even. White never really turns out how you want, it I've painted wheels for the fun of it other than that always paid professionals to paint body parts of my trucks/cars. if you don't like it just re paint it I highly doubt you're dropping over 2k on paint in this 700 dollar car let alone more than $400 so just do what you like it's your car.

thats true, I'm only dropping 70 bucks on the paint, I've painted cars before so I have all the supplies to do it myself already
