Default Blk or silver LD1's on Black GS....

I just recently purchased silver 19" LD1's.... (yea yea their played out w/ all the knockoffs, but hey.... I still love em) question is How do you think they will look if I painted them black. Or should I leave em chrome. I've yet to see a GS w/ Black LD1's.... hardly any black colored rims. so ....yay or nay!!!

Found this set of Black LD1's

or standard Silver...... I know the silver would look good but I'm intruigued by the black. IMO it looks hideous on that car up there but might look good on a GS. Either way, I think I'm prolly going to do it anyways but give me your opinions anyways.....

I'd prefer silver, or maybe just powdercoat black the part of the center cap where the rivets are.

I've seen these on a few benzo's... looks HOT IMO... i love the lip that comes w/ it. But I'm so fawn of the LD1's and the flat face wouldn't suit my GS too well i dont think. I need something that flows. I do plan on leaving the center cap silver or maybe have them high polished. Can't cover up that Lowenhart name

rivets will remain polished and also the lip. The wheels above I posted dont look like true LD1's..... Hopefully the lip will look alot better.

the darker rims on the photoshop look much better and more realistic. I LOVE THEM.

I wasnt gonna tell clublexus till i got the pics, but here goes anyway.....

just to let you know how much i love them..... i ordered a special set of the black ones about two months ago. (still havnt gotten them in yet ) and my LEX is black with black interior. Its gonna be tripple black.

but still got a little suprise.....
