honest opinions if I should flat black my wheels..
#16
Flat black can look good on flat face wheels and or on multi piece wheels when the pieces are a combo of matte and clear finish. I would not paint those. Clean me up and throw on some spacers most are saying. Staggered as well

black is fine if themed right. like if you were going panda or tie in other black accents or ofcourse the car was black.
his car is a good example for not going black wheels though because theres not much exterior black to tie it in, it would just look cheap and ricey.

Thanks for all the input..appreciate it..i will def be looking into spacers this weekend...and yes the front is way lower than rear had slicks on the back forgot to lower it before the pic....ALSO I agree my rims need a good cleaning but the reason I mention black wheels is, my front lip, wing, dual exhaust and lexus rear emblem are black..so I figured with all those black accents it would look decent...for now I'll focus on spacers and cleaning up these rims...thanks again

what is the offset on those wheels? if you were going to paint them black, then i would say get them powdercoated HIGH gloss black on the faces only

actually I didn't even notice the badge,lip..ect. painting the wheels black might bring thoes features out. get a can of plati-dip and try it out, if you don't like it you can just peel it off like 2jznosht said.
my enkeis are/were straight chrome. they look 9999x better after "dipping" them. I have the means to powdercoat them but they still look good so it hasn't bothered me eccept the flat vs gloss. probably goanna do it next tire change. ( the first pic a bug landed on it while drying, so i had to peel it all off and do it again but shows the chrome-ness)
