Well, I am not sure if I like the wheels I have on now. I am thinking of switching back to my stockers, but painting them gloss black instead of the gunmetal/dark gray.

I am thinking about doing this before I get new wheels this summer, because I am not really all that happy with the white ones. Either, for that matter, but I am choosing the lesser of 2 evils.

Cost to switch the tires on the other ones isn't a factor, because I have a friend who can mount/balance them for free.

The white ones:

And the ones I am thinking of switching to, except making them gloss black first:

At least I'm not alone with my thinking. I thought the white ones would look better when I put them on:rolleyes:
 












I'd go with the cheapest solution :D
 
























Only 2 people voted?? Stock.
 






stock! im not gona lie those other ones look nasty! haha
 


















Yea I always thought you liked those wheels, and never said anything. But yea, them's white ones are u-g-l-y. And Black is always good. :D

If people tell me they don't like something I did, I don't care. Just so long it is not being mean and things like that. How are you supposed to get better without that? If I don't like what somebody said, I just will ignore it.

Besides, you are all just a bunch of internet people:p:

The ones I think I will get this summer are the ones Donner has, but the black ones.
 






If you do go black make sure to paint the caps also. I think it looks much better with painted caps. I even painted inside the lettering black, took some time but looks 100x better and kinda stock.

White ones look gay.

The black ones are nice!

The black ones are pretty dang nice! I thought about having mine glossy, but I have to do a photo shop... And mean people are the best! You learn when to be patient, and when to roll over someone and hand them their @ss. :D

Well, just thought I would update this. I went back to the stock, except re-did them gloss black instead of the gunmetal/dark gray color. Looks a lot better, and now you know what "back in black" under my name means, since I know everybody was wondering:p:


I'd leave the stock ones painted the way they are. The match the trim already and gloss wouldn't. My preference though.

As for what FROADER said about leaving them the color they were because it matched the trim, the next nice non-rainy weekend we have the trim is going away anyway. I think it will look better then, because with the trim on it almost seems to be too much black. Besides, my trim is scratched as ****, and I need to deal with rust under the passenger side flares. It's starting to show too much above the flares.
