Blacked out stock rims

[PeZ3o3]

I just painted my rims black, let me know what you think. My car is kinda dirty in the pics and i dont want to wash it yet but i will get some better pictures up later. I think im gonna paint my brakes red next weekend too.

hmm imho a lighter grey would do the car more justice, and stock height MS6's uhhgghh

or black side/rear markers and nightshade the tail lights.... that might work...

I also would have left the Mazda logo silver.

I'm still hesitating of painting mine black as well. I believe that black on black looks better, but still, I'm not convinced. What I hate about black wheels is the contrast with the "grey" tires when they're not clean and shiny, with that wet look.

+1 on leaving the logo silver. I powdercoated my stocks black and left the logo silver and kind of make the rims stand out a little more. but yours looks good to.

i would def go for a flat black/charcoal, i wouldn't want my rims darker than my tires or trim. also, get black lugs!

I'm thinking a satin black powdercoat for mine, when I get a spare set of wheels for a week or so. For those of you painting the center caps, are you just masking off the 'M'?

For some reason MS6 rims (which I now have on my speed3) look odd any darker than gray or gun metal. Good paint job though.

Kind of like my black stock MS3 rims on a MS6. Just didnt look right.

When I painted my center caps, I popped off the chrome M part. You have to be careful because they're not the easiest thing to remove. I ended up breaking 1 tab on 2 of the center caps. It still worked out because the 3 other tabs held the M on tight. GL.

These pics show the one time in the lifetime of the car when the rims are clean and the rest of the car is dirty. I will post some pics when both are clean and both are dirty and see what everyone thinks. Also, i blacked out the emblems and they are the same black as the rims so i think that looks good. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if i just made everyone dislike black rims on a silver car then at least my car will be origional! lol

yeah man the lack of cleaness is killing it. shine it up and it'll look way better prolly.

tire shine FTW!
