What color rims?
I have a black LT sedan, and Im planning on painting my stock rims, but I can't decide what color. Its either going to be Gloss Black or a Metallic Graphite, let me know what you think.

Also, if any one has examples of the Metallic Graphite or Gunmetal on a black car, please share.

And before you start flaming, im a poor college student, and will not have money for new rims for a long time, so thats not an option.

yea...thats what I was thinking, I wanted to do black, but then I looked on here and realized that pretty much everyone has black rims. So thats why im really leaning towards the graphite/gunmetal look

i honestly say just wait untill someone has a set of stock ss/sc rims for sale then take them. wont be too expensive and will look alot better than the rims you have now. maybe even try to snag some in gunmetal i think that would look good on your car.

I voted bronze, but I'm biased. I have a black sedan, and have bronze wheels. Don't ask for any pics tho, because the wheels are in the garage waiting until I install my sportlines.
