I personally prefers the original look. But that's just my opinion as I am not a big fan of all black rims.

I like it but only because it matches your matte black hood. other than that I am not a fan of all black wheels. def leave the lip silver though

I would paint them entirely black, even the lip lol. That would look sick. Sometimes I wish I got all black rims instead
