Lightbulb Should I paint my wheels? Need your opinion.
Highly thinking of changing the color of my wheels.

Option 1: Leave it as is
Option 2: Change to Matte Black Face with Black Chrome Lips

Think further outside the box. If you are going to have a custom finish might as well make it unique.

Leave it and do other exterior mods to the car, even simple stuff like painting the grille and the sidemarker black can make a big difference.

Leave em. Spend that money on other mods.. Upgraded tails, euro impact strips if your not going to do the 63 front end, front lip, diffuser, the list doesn't end.
