You think it looks fine as is then? Other people are saying do chrome black with a sliver lip?

"Leave them the way they are," would be my advice for you if you're thinking of painting them. I personally, can't stand almost every single stock wheel out there. So the first thing I do when I buy a car is buy new chrome wheels. While chrome is not for everyone, I personally like it. Best of luck to you.

The first thought is to make the car the way you want it.
As for my opinion, leave the wheels unpainted. Cars need a certain amount of contrast. A little bright work goes along way. Of course, changing the wheels to a different style would be OK.
Of course the money spent on new wheels or painting the current ones would just take money away from other 'go fast' things...

steve stop coping me...j/k. You should get a set of 96-98 5 spoke's found on the sho and have them powder coated black and then polish the lip. Only 2 color cars black rims look good on...white and black

If you black it out I think it would look better with a silver lip. But imo, some sweet aftermarket rims would really make it stand out nice.

I hate black painted stock wheels with a passion. I say get some springs and get the stock wheels powdercoated chrome, that would look nice. Oor just forget about the stock wheels because they are 16's, and you car really needs 18's to looks badass.
