although maybe a more steel like grey to them would be a welcome change



kinda like this

That is another good option but i was just thinking since my grills are black and tint is dark that id go with darker wheels but Gunmetal would work well also

I've just always liked dark wheels which is why the idea keeps biting me in the ass but i do also like the way it looks right now

might be hard since it's a 2 piece welded wheel. painting either the face or powdercoating the whole wheel might be my only option.

i am scared to paint the lips, i have the bad luck with scrapping the lips. one lip scratched by the car wash and the other rim with mystery curb rash.

I like how it is now! There is another color you can go with, burning black/black chrome look also.
