Asking for opinions before I go through with this:
So I posted the same thing in the 7gen rims topic, but I figured I'd come here as well and ask some opinions on the look, and perhaps find some good suggestions before I go through with it.
So here is a before and after(with the after being photoshopped)
before:
After:
By request, untouched lip:
edit: unpainted lip pic removed, looked like poop.

Oh this is not a cash thing. I have the cash for new wheels, I just like the current wheels and wanted to see if coating them black would work, and what people thought.
Though after the posts so far, and some internal debate, I'm probably just going to leave them stock and just tint the windows.

Stock wheels are way too expensive. You can get a set of Enkei 18's with Goodyears for $1,100.

I think the stock look flows better, unless you paint your wheels pearl black that really shines. A flat black really doesn't complement the overall look of the car. But new chrome wheels should do just that!

I'm not 100% against painting factory wheels. (more like 87.5%) But with ANY wheels decision, it all boils down to how it flows with the car. Both of the renderings you posted look extremely tacky. I say, leave it stock until you get a drop. Then find a nice set of 20s.

luckily for me the op asked for opinions. i, however, did not. thanks anyway though.
and btw, if it was a black or 2 tone themed car i probably would have said go for it. throwing black wheels just on anything is tasteless imo ("o" stands for "opinion" btw
).
