I currently have 18" Cobra R rims. Although I don't mind the chrome on the rims, I have realized that most of my car is black and the only chrome are of course the rims.

My buddy recently had his rims powder coated on his g35. Its not the flat black powder coat, but more of a shiny smooth black. The shop doing the powder coat can do all 4 rims for $200. My photoshop skills are not good, but if i do powder coat them, they will end up looking similar to my edited picture.

With this being said what do you guys think i should do? leave them chrome or black them out?

Thank you guys!

They need to provide some contrast to the black, IMO. Also, are you missing a piece on your grille delete? Looks like all you have installed is the one bracket piece.

Cobra bumpers have an integrated grille delete from the factory I think...

I like black rims, but only with the polished or chrome lip. Leave them chrome and +1 on either widening the rears or getting spacers.

I think the car looks good with the chrome, though the black doesn't look bad. I'd stick with what you have unless you absolutely want a change.
