I would go all gunmetal. Use the duplicolor wheel paint. And get the graphite color. not quite as dark as gunmetal but very very nice. Black will look like steelies and won't show up too well. imo

Re: Painting Rims Opinions help?

i wouldnt powdercoat either it costs a lot!!! Silver might look good on your car too. i like silver on silver if the rims dont have a lip on them thats just my opinion. I honestly think black rims on silver is getting way too popular and i only like a select few black rims just cuz i wouldnt want to spend a ton of money on rims to have them look like steelies when ur driving. IMO!!!!

well it depends on your car what it looks like now, if it flows and you dont have alot of colors do it but depends on the type of wheel get one with a lip around it painted another color!
