  • C5 Rims

    anyone have a pic of black C5 rims, that of the same style on my car?

    I'm getting the hood professionally repainted and was thinking about having them paint my rims black too. Also, is special paint needed? How long would the paint stay nice, especially on the front rims?

        i'm not a big fan of black rims...most the time they look tacky

        HOWEVER, my only exception is on black cars, I've seen lots of black cars with black rims that look swee

        thats why i wanted to see if anyone had any pics of my rims painted black...anyone?

              agree. I say, either paint the rims black with a polished lip, or possibly paint them gunmetal, though i'm not sure how it'd look on those wheels, but i like the gunmetal on black cars.
