enu3yre8.jpg so this is my 95 hoe with nbs 16's on it. I've been thinking of maybe painting the rim black and leaving the center caps chrome. Sort of a police style rim I guess. I can't decide if I will like the black wheels, or if I like my shiny chrome. I'll probably just use plasti dip at first and see how it looks this weekend if it doesn't rain the entire time....So Im just looking for opinions on what will look best since I'm so torn between the two. Thanks!

I was thinking the same. I need a bigger and nicer wheel too. I'm needing new tires soon anyways so Ive been checking clist for some Texas editions with tires I'm hoping.

Kind of hard to say, on the 2 doors I like both, but on the 4 doors I think chrome.. Although I would have to see a 4 door with black. If it had dark windows too, it would look better.

Here's the factory work truck 17's painted black with a 265/70/17 wrapped around them.

I'd go with chrome. I see way too many kids at my school spray-painting or plasti-dipping their rims black. I'm personally tired of seeing them, most of the time it doesn't even look good. Just don't do what one guy did and plasti-dip the rims and fuel door neon green.

Lol I don't do the whole monster energy green painting on everything haha. After washing the hoe again I realised how much I really love how shiny the wheels get. Maybe if they ever get bad brake dust or something I'll paint them. By then I should already have new wheels though so won't have to worry about it!

theres an easy way to do this. first off i dont care for black rims. but if you wanted a visual you could plasti dip them. if YOU like it keep it, if not just peel it off. should take 4 cans @ 7$ish ea
