Default If they are curbed and scratched up I might do it in grey..>

My friend painted his winter wheels black and they look kinda ****ty, I would go with a color that doens't get completely "lost."

Default IMO black rims w/o a lip don't look right. But, if you are really a fan of the look,

I would say powdercoat a set of inexpensive replicas, not the expensive OEMs.

Its that grey silver color. 2002 225 ALMS with red interior.

I really dig black rims with the polished look but just weighting some options...

The ALMS wheels look perfect IMO as-is on Avus/Silver.

Looks amazing on here.. and black wheels do look nice on the Avus grey color of the ALMS.. look at TighTTs pictures, he just powdercoated his HREs

Default i don't agree...

in fact, i think black rims with a polished rim look terrible.....cheap and knight rider-ish.

either all black, or stay gunmetal or silver.
