*PICS* Should I black out my aftermarket 20" rims

Hey guys, ever since i got my rims I wanted to black them out and leave the lip chrome, But im not 100% sure I want to do it because I dont know if its going to make the car look ghetto. Ive seen a guy with a black 350Z with black rims and it looks pretty nice. Here is a pic of my rims right now ...

Re: *PICS* Should I black out my aftermarket 20" rims

Are those wheels more prone to bending the lip because of such the thin tire wall and the lack of support on the outside lip than out normal stock wheels? I want to get some deep dish wheels but can somone enlighten me on how good they will hold up in new england.

My opinion is that it looks better with the rims as they currently are....

I personally think black w/ a polished lip on a black car looks REAL nice

I think that if you are going to ruin those sweet rims with that crap, you should just sell me the rims for $100 each.
