In my taste, i would not paint ur rims to black. I think you should save some money and change bi-xenon and ur car will be pimping.... just my thought and ur car will looks good either way

I agree, the rims look good as they are. Just get bi-xenons, clear fogs and updated turn signals and your car will be pimpin even more...

I agree, the only color that I think looks decent with painted rims is black, that is if the rims are painted black.
