Nah,
don't paint them, leave them as standard.
That's my 2 cents:p

STOCK COLOR = Clean and fresh look!

BLACK COLOR = More aggressive!

Hey dude - I love the matt black rims look, but imo I don't think it works as well with the black car as it does with other colours.

That being said, it'll still look pretty damn mean, especially when you pair it with the red lug nuts. Go hard and make sure you post up pics when you're done!!!

by the sounds of it you really want them in balck its your car do what you think will look good. Others dont matter! but i think you made the right decision anyways:wave:
Black looks stealth
