Painting the wheels

hey guys i want your opinion on this im getin bored with my wheels so i just wanted to see how it would look like if i painted them black tell me if i should or leave it as is

thats how it is now

This is how it would look like if i painted them satin black and leave the shiny part shine i just had black masking tape so i just covered it to have an idea how it would look

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

Leave them as they are but if you really do want to change the colour to something darket, go for gun metal grey/anthracite.
