Default What do you guys think, before and after shots of my rims.

Well I decided to paint m rims black, just because the old color was hideous. So how do you guys think they look ?

Before




After




In the after shots, the rims are completely black, the white spots is glare from the sun.

Well I did not paint them to make them look like anything else, I painted them because I did not like the old color or the rims. And about getting new rims, these currently are on the car but like I said before, I prefer function over fashion.

If you dont care about fashion then there was no point for you to paint those wheels black. You wouldnt of cared what color your wheels are if you agreed with what you said above.

Those wheels look like fake rotas. Ya imitations of imitations!

I did not mean I don't like fashion at all, but they are really light and since I was putting them on, why not make them look better.

Good post. You put some thought into that one, oh wait you have 92% that explains it all.

Well like I said, I do care a little about fashion, but since I'm putting them back on cause there really lite, I figured I would make them look better. And about the imitations, I never intended to make them look like anything else, and I'm not trying to play them off as spoons or rotas. I was thinking of getting them done in bronze or a different color but since my car was black, I thought a black rim would look good.
