Ideas?

[86ta-adf]

I'm fairly new here but have been watching this site for about a year just never really posted. Anyhow, I really like my stock rims but I always liked black rims. I was wondering if anyone has seen or thinks my rims painted black (I'm pretty good at painting) will look good. Any suggestions or imput is appreciated.

I don't think they would look too great black IMO, see how you like the crosslaces, they always seem to look good black

I don't like all black wheels, especially with taller 15" tires. You need something to break it up, add some definition. If you like them I'd stick with those as is, or maybe the 16" versions found on TAs and formulas (they are convex in stead of concave)

I'm not sure if they would look good black but when I had ny 91 gta I painted them black and they looked great

heres an idea of an ALL black wheel... see how tire and wheel blend to make it look unfinished...

All black. aka murdered out :-) , wheels only look good on some vehicles and in some situations...

I really like those. Who's wheels are they?

some random pictures online.

looks like yours just painted with the lip masked off. 16" versions it looks like.

I forgot about those 16" formula wheels, I like them too (I wouldn't even paint them). that lip breaks it all up. that looks good. if they were all black it would be not so good.

black wheels with a silver lip look decent (not a huge fan but it has its place)...all black wheels will always look terrible (imo)...theres no buffer zone between rim and tire.
