Please help me decide!!

Tomorrow afternoon superchiliredline is going to be coming through my area and wants to know if I want to trade him my Black painted rims for his comp pack rims. Now if this was two years ago when I got my car I would not hesitate at all. But since I have bought my car I have put on some visual mods that might not go to well with the comp pack rims. Such as my fender stripes, blacked out turn signals, etc. Well here are some pics of my car and a pic of a silver car with comp rims for a comparison.

So you want to screw them up even though they are rare? How about just getting rid of the stripes completely since they don't look good on anything except this car

Red fender stripes on a blue car with a white stripe? They look better on his car.

Do you even know the hertiage behind that car, or what the hash stripes really represent?

yeah im thinking about painting em black so i can take advantage of the chrome lip. I was just tired of having a wheel that looked like it molded into the wheel and the wheel well. Now it actually looks like I have a rim lol.

Why not just leave them alone? They look a million times better than the black wheels. Blacking out wheels = gay

Off topic, but I never really realized how badass the RL's look. Nice ride.
