Default Painted my rims = 0 , what do you think?
I thought the silver face the rims had before didn't make the car pop or standout at all, so I painted them metallic graphite to give it some attitude and I think it looks quite better now. Took some pics tonight even though the car is dirty

BTW- I painted the grill with BBQ paint and it has not chipped with about 1000 miles of driving on the highway. The rear valence is also painted with the same paint

Looks good!
I was afraid when you said you'd painted them, but it's very well done.
