Default Opinion on rims please

What color do you guys think I should paint my rims? I don't have enough money to buy new rims so painting them is my only option. Its a Blue accord with stock rims

Thumbs up Hi Member

I think that you should get the color code off your car, go to Honda and buy the paint and paint every other spoke the pretty blue of your car..What do you think?

creative, but I was hoping for a single color rim. Thanks for your thoughts though!

I was thinking about painting them black but my family is telling me to keep it original and that black looks weird. I want to paint them black but I don't know.

IMHO I don't think black would look good on the dark-color car. I actually think they look good now.

My idea would be paint the stuff that's grey-ish (center part) blue to match the car. Mask the spokes so they stay bright.

I agree with Jim. I have never been a fan of black rims in general, especially on dark colored, non-black cars. Every time I see them on a car from more than 50 feet away, it just looks like they're rolling on steelies, and that just completely ruins the whole aesthetic appeal altogether. I vote to leave them how they are, or go aftermarket. I wouldn't paint those.
