Default what color should i paint the rims

since i can't afford new rims right now and mine have chips all over em and look like ***, i decided i would try and paint em. I love bronze rims but i've seen a few on silver cars and some looked strange. gunmetal could be cool. maybe just re-paint em silver, what do you think?






p.s i know it looks like a 4X4 right now
[Edit for spelling]

You could do them this color...(Very original BTW)



Or go with what I did. Just a different color gunmetal than the way they came...


Either way, just do what you want.

The stickers are not stuck to the wheels when you buy them new. I however, didn't have the stickers. I found someone on the board that had them.
