Should I paint my wheels?

Hello, I'm looking to change the color of my wheels and wonder what color looks best with a silver car. Should the wheels be painted in gold, gun metal, black or just leave it silver? Some photoshop pics would be great.

Thanks

both of those sound like good options...a nice gunmetal or dark color would be nice too. gives it a clean look without looking too tuner-ish/ricey.

I think black with chrome/polished lip is getting played out like chrome rims.

I'd go gunmetal out of those choices. Gold will look extremely ugly on those wheels with the color of your car.

I was planning on getting black w/ chrome lip, but I have blk on blk sedan. On a silver G, the gunmetal or dark grey might be a better option.

Thanks for all the comments. My thoughts was for gunmetal also and black is too dark for my taste.

Looks HOT, like IS-F rims!

Are they painted or powder-coated?
