i've seen black and it looks kinda nice, but then again i'm sure the whole "black wheel" thing will go "out of style" within a year at the most. seriously, just go by what you like. keep in mind you can never go wrong with stock. i'm sure any silver would be close enough to the untrained eye.

Don't care to much for the red but someone at my school painted theres yellow

I'd stay w/stock. Its most likely a silver metalic w/lots of clear coat, you might wanna try it out on some thing else first

Just did mine the other day.

Sand them down with a 200 grit sandpaper, clean them with a little soap and mostly water mix, let dry, pick up a can of Duplicolor Silver from AutoZone, and voila! I got a can of clearcoat for it, but I really like how they look without it.

That's a sick picture!

Yeah, leave 'em stock color. Like the guy before me said, the silver Duplicolor wheel paint at AutoZone should look nice.

I think that gunmetal would look nice w/ si wheels. thats what i want to do and then paint the H white. Since my car is white is should look nice.

The white looked pretty nice,

The only ppl I see in the thread that have them backwords is the the person that painted his white. Everyone else has them going the right way.
