Paint It Black or Leave It?
I'll be getting my wheels this weekend I had it powder coat... Shinny black on the lip and flat black on the face with black lug bolts and black hre center caps... So should I paint the rivets black or leave it like this....

I'm waiting on my wheels with the matte face and gloss lip... But my rivets will be matte black. That being said I also have a black car where as yours isn't which makes those rivets contrast well

I like the silver rivets but imho silver rivets is nice only on wheels with few rivets but my C20s has gazillion rivets each wheel so for me its kinda bling bling or bedazzled...so yeah im confused... Idk maybe leave it as is for awhile and if i get tired paint it black....fml im confused.

Go black. It will look sleeper on a black car!
Are they steel, stainless, or titanium?? If you can find out what size they are I can help you. I can possibly supply them in black and then you can replace them one at a time and it will be professionally done. If they are steel I can get them in stainless, have them black anodized or black oxide and then they will look killer.

Here, this is with gloss black rivets. My wheels, I was keeping it quiet until I got the car but oh well. Hope this helps.

I figure it might help you along in your decision. I want my C to be ready already to get these on!

I kind of like the unpainted rivets on my HREs. They aren't actually that noticeable when you see it in person. When you look at it in pictures they stand out. But in person - most people have to think about it for a second. Plus, I like some contrast or my black car would look too black.
