Not sure if I like seeing the body the same colour as the rims.
But it could be good?
What is your colour scheme? I'd pick a different colour if it were me, but it's your car wink1.gif ziplip.gif
I think a gloss black would work best. laugh.gif:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... .
This would fall under the thread I just started called "Body kits, Honda drivers, WTF says it all".

Dooood.... 10 for effort -0 for style. No painty painty the rims. It's cool you are proud of what you got going on, but DUDE... You just spray painted the new rims you just got. Blah.............. I'll be slashing my wrists if you need me. crying.gif

Breck doesnt just give you a zero for style he gives you a negative zero which is worse i hear...

Well breck, I apreciate your opinion. And all of the others.
The rims were used when I bought them. The rims were chipped and the previous owner had painted it horribly with gloss black. They were like half flat and half gloss.
I was going to do Gloss black but after I stripped ALL of the old paint and primered them, I kinda wanted to do something different.
I put up a better pic. It shows how dark they really are.
I am still undecided myself.

Ahh... Okay, I guess given their current condition that they're in that's a little different story. I thought you bought them new and was painting them. I too would like to see them on the car to say more. Can you get some kind of a closeup of the rim without the flash going crazy? smile.gif

Update:
I have decided to go with gloss black. The blue turned out lighter than my car. I don't think it would look right.
I apreciate all of the feedback and I will have pics on the car in the spring when I get my BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 Tires.

Just stripped and primed them black. I think this is what I should have done in the first place.
If you look at the bottom of the pic you can see the stripped paint on the box.
This is just the primer coat keep in mind, just want some opinions on the gloss black.
