Thinking of getting my stock wheels refinished.... no Bling!
I got a set of used stock wheels on eBay to use during winter. Since i got the wheels im contemplating on getting it refinished (no chrome or bling style). Maybe a darker gray or anything to give the car a more aggressive style. What do you all think?

i wouldn't mess with them personally,there is only so much you can do with the factory wheel and unfortunately that would be chrome plating which wouldn't look that well;not to mention the extra weight.painting them wouldn't look good either as there is no way to have a polished lip to contrast the center as it is a one piece wheel.

some may consider it ghetto, but i think it's quite an aggressive, "tuff" look to have all-black (no chrome lip) wheels on a silver car. gives it a nascar sort of vibe. may not be for everyone, however.

Chrome is out! There is a new patented process for a chrome look or Black chrome and other colors which is similar to powder coating. Honda Ridgeline is the first manufacturer/car to use the process on their chrome wheel upgrade. The company is in Cali and was featured at SEMA.
The process gets around all the negatives of chrome. No heat distorsion or corrosion issues.

^^^ Looks like all your cars have their wheels in black hah?
There is a guy in my hometown (Rostock,not far from you)
who has the wheels on all his cars black, and he has a lot,
even on some of the cars from his company.
