If you decide to paint the wheels black, leave the lips silver. A solid black wheel looks like *** on every single car I have seen. Reminds me of cheep steel wheels minus the hub caps.

Dont do it. Wrong wheel design for polish/bright lip too.

Your car is not modded enough yet to look good with black wheels.
