Matte Black OEM Rims, what do you think? ***Pics Included

I followed two DIY's to paint my stocks until I buy some new ones. I still need to paint my claipers and other stuff, but for a cheap project, I'm pretty happy with it! What do you guys think? Also, should I change my lug nuts, or just keep my stocks, color wise? Hate comments are always welcome too! haha

Oh well, it's your coupe!

Look alright, I'm not a fan of black/blue and apparently that's where you're headed. Your coupe would look way better with polished rims, totally debadged....Gary

Good job but the black usually looks better on the oem 18's and 19 rays

Not liking the blue/black. Good looking rims though.

Looks real good man. I'm trying to imagine them black glossy instead but I think the matte looks better

Looks pretty good. That's not a color combo you see very much so props for trying it out. A rear valance overlay would go well with rest of the car.

Don't see anything wrong with Black + Blue.
Probably just need some spacers and you're good.

Wow that looks way better than I would have thought for OEM 17s! I would say you should paint the rear diffuser, calipers like you said and add some color for the lugs to make it pop! Making me want to do the same with my oem 17s.

I agree, I think it looks nice! I don't necessarily like the all gloss black look either, but to each their own haha! Have you done any interior pieces black? I painted my pulls matte black, and am gonna start on some other parts as well. Just saving up for my body kit until then!

BUt thanks guys! I'm getting the k1 rear bumper, so I won't have a diffuser, but the part around the license plate will be matte black which will help I think!

What color on the calipers? I was just thinking black as well, any other ideas?
