imho I think rims which show the calipers/discs look much better. I'd say replace them, but as you've said you can't do that without selling these first.
With the two pics, I like the darkened rims more. I think it gives the car a meaner look. Just my opinion Smile


yeah too bad aristos have brakes as small as harry potters dick...

I voted other.

I think u should get them diamond machine cut. which is like a brush polish with black accents between the spokes... its much more classy and modern. here is an example

But that will only be possible if the face can be unbolted. Most wheel shops should be able to do diamond machine cut. Here are a few examples of what i'm talking about

Only the surface can be DMC. any grooves and sides must be painted. I think it makes a wicked combination

yeah would go with the black paint. if you could get the fasteners around the radius chromed up and the slots also chromed up/polished that would be the goods too. but yeah having the face of the rim black and the rest chrome/polished give it "sick dish" appearance as it makes the rims look very very deep. DMC would look nice too but may be time and cost ineffective for you. go black. Eeek Dance
