and its a 90 teg im guessin, dont even worry about it, i may be slightly under the influence but your car looks fine with those wheels, remember, there is never a reason to take a spray paint can to anything having to do with your car, someone elses caar, dont even worry about it

i personally don't like black on black....it kinda takes away from the rim IMO...but yea if u get it professionaly done there should be no problems

leave it, it looks hot now, if u wanna see some black rims on black car check my gallery, i think mine are too dark and they are just gunmetal. your wheel color looks just right imo.

Ummm... I wouldnt waste time painting, the paint chips of pretty quickly, and IMO not worth the time. I would say get them powdercoated.

ANd damn, Baer brakes :eek: thats baller.

you could just paint them yourself. just put some time into it.
go get some fine grit sand paper and give them a rub down(if you want), slot playin cards all around the wheel to prevent the rubber from getting hit, spray let dry spray let dry etc etc get a few coats on and see how they look.
then if you want to give it a shine or be sure the paint will stay on there get some clear coat spray like 'Plasti-Coat' or something and coat that on there.
Ive sprayed rims, after sanding, with GM automotive paint and it worked great. did 3 or 4 layers. but it took a while to get a good job done. If you wanna spray your rims black, do it. after all. they're yours:thumbsup:

Who cares what brand they are, they're nice and he likes em :P

Leave the colour the way it is now, it looks nice with the black - from the pic I can see anyways.
