Trying to sell my 19" Tenzo Tenspec before Carlisle but I don't think it's going to happen so I might just keep them. They are currently matte black with a red stripe but I had plans to paint over the red stripe and make them all matte black. Now I am thinking if I should keep with that plan or make the stripe white to match the car. What does everyone think?

only matte black. The white stripe is cheesy. But even if it is cheesy, I still like the look of it. So I guess either one.

Ya I'm still not too sure. I love the all black look but I feel like these will look better with a stripe. Might give it a try worst thing that can happen is ill have to paint it again so I'm not really worried. Here's some pics I found:

I like the white strip...makes the rims look clean. Black rims tend to blend into the tire and look permanently dirty without the lip IMO...I think the white strip would really make it pop a little

Hey czonin:

I saw your pics on cardomain and I think your coupe is so slick. I've only had my coupe for about 2 weeks, and I'm looking to get some rims on it. I want a black rim with white stripe as well... (although i was really considering a white rim). Any suggestions on how to paint the white stripe? I don't want the paint to fall off easily.

Thanks.
