I have an 03 dark shadow grey gt. It has the "classic" 5 star silver rims, not the bullits. Im currently sinking my $$ into a complete bassani exhaust system and im pretty much tapped.

I'd like to replace the rims but i dont have the ching. How do you think it would look if i had the rims painted black? Not sure glossy black or a flat black i just would like something darker. Maybe some one with some talent and photo shop skillz could fasion me up a pic. Thanks in advance.

I'd leave the rims alone.

Pull out the CC or save up for new rims. You can get Bullet take offs with new tires pretty cheap at http://www.karkraft.com/wheels_&_tires.htm

i've seen youre wheel in a low gloss flat black and they looked nice, the car was red and he had the mach 1 front air dam. getting them painted is like $300 or you could buy some new for 400

Leave them alone till you get the cash or whip out that MasterCard and pay for it over time.

I vote to leave them alone aswell.Save the cash for aftermarket. The $$$'s you spend to paint these ones,is one step closer to another set.
