Should I paint my stock wheel black or leave them the stock look?

If you paint them black, paint the chrome of your light housings black.

+1 on painting the headlight housings, or get stock 2gb headlights.

Yeah, I don't like them either. Those are the ones that came on the car when I got it. I guess I could try and do that as well.

I have an extra set of wheels that would be perfect to be painted.

I said no.. She looks just fine.... She would look way hotter if you get that low spoiler off and put a High Spoiler!!! Or wingless.

Looks 858478389x better with the painted lights. I lthink it would also look good with the painted stockers too.

Gloss or Matte black (Wheels)
I was going to say throw some stock headlights back on, but the black housing looks great on the projectors.
Maybe do the FMIC in anodized black.

The headlights look good but... I would say paint the wheels too!

Yeah I agree Cody. I just bought the paint and primer for the wheels and after I eat my food I'm going to go out there and paint them. I should have some pics up tonight so keep watching for the update

Now that the headlights are darker, I say defiantly go with a darker wheel color. By the way the headlights look good.

The headlight and the wheels look good, black silver you can never go wrong, you already knew you need to drop it and i would like to add, either find 2ga door caps or 2gb side skirt panels. The door cap doesnt match the rocker panel. get all that squared away and that will be a very nice and clean dsm! :mitsu:evilb
