Keep them silver. I've never seen any painted Fat-Fives that I liked. I like the LS-mesh wheels painted gunmetal with a polished lip though.

I dont know how you were planning on leaving a polished lip on the Fat-Fives. There really isnt a "lip" to polish since the spokes go all the way out.

I think fat 5's are the t3h s3x. they are very special because they look incredibly good left stock machined finish, especially on rex's, leave em silver and get some better looking lugs.

YEAH DONT PAINT THOSE WHEELS

if you do anything, go to a tire store and get the goddamn weights taken off and have them preform a static balance and use stick-on weights

There are some pics of my Ed6 with painted fat 5's.


Seriously though, do what you want to do, who cares what if other people like them. Especially people on the internet, if you like them painted do it. I think they look nice painted balck.
