i am debating on whether i should paint the rims .. i was thinking a gloss black, then get the windows tinted .. it should go good with the other black such as the carbon mirrors and eye lids and the roof is painted black and also the black center with the kouki tails.. just looking for something diff and wanna change it up..

some photoshop of the windows tinted and the wheels done it gloss or satin black would greatly be apreciated.

also i am not a newb lol just started using this username again. been on nico for years..

thanks

also any other color of the wheels could be thrown out there for suggestion.. any help and opinions is appreciated

I like em how they are. Your car looks great!

Imo, all black wheels on a gray car is a little too much for me unless they have contrast like a chrome lip. But I think your car would look much better with a tint though, regardless.

Wow it actually doesn't look too bad with those wheels. Nice looking car... Don't paint them though, it looks good as it is.

I would leave them as is. I'm not a big fan of black rims.

Your car will look beautiful with tint.

If you want the black to blend from the hatch window and quarter windows you need to go 5%, Its pretty dark for some people but it blends with the black around the windows and i personally think it looks nice.

Then on the passenger windows go with whatever you like, and get yourself a 5inch eyebrow on the front windshield. I think all of that would set your car off REALLY nice.

Another personal opinion, You ever think about painting your calipers? The wheels look very nice already and maybe if you added something behind them, It would give you that "different" look you are fishing for.

Seriously though, Your car looks very clean and simple. Tint will set it off and i would call it a day

Do whatever is going to put a smile on your face though.

One Love,

Ghasty

not on your car, but maybe someone can chop it to yours or it'll just give you an idea.

Well, if you were to paint them, I'd say do something crazy like purple. But if you're going for the clean look, definately leave them how they are.

Love your car as is though black is not a bad Idea. But if I wanted something different I would paint the front of the rim black and leave the sides of the spokes silver to create a kind of two tone look. I've seen it on some high end lux cars where I live and it looks hot. But just my opinion

I threw together a few pictures. The colors may not necessarily be true, but they give you a rough idea of a few different options. I made them bright to stand out against the dark color of the car

Either White Purple Or Green.

A Better Higher Quality Picture Will Help A LOT.
