Photoshop skills needed please
I've been thinking about giving my car a new look and the best option for me is to paint my rims. I'm thinking of having my rims sent back to HRE to have them painted satin black but I'm not quite sure how they'll look. If any of you could do a quick fix with satin/matt black it would be appreciated. I would do both the lips and centers black because I personally don't like black/polished. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much! It doesn't look that bad in all black but I definitely would go with a satin black over glossy. What do you guys think? Any suggestion out there?

Thanks Sean. I think I'm going to do it but still not 100% sure yet. What did you do with yours? I'm thinking of going with what most people recommend - satin black center with powdercoat black gloss on the lips. It's nice to change the look of the car after a year without spending too much.

My wheels are Matte centers w/gloss blk lips ALL paint (I'd suggest powder coating as the finish is fragile)

Plus 1 on Sean`s paint scheme. Like the red calipers too.

I love it how it is. Just my .02. But if you do decide to change it, I vote all matte with red calipers. Sean's car does look sinister.
