I think a glossy black with a polished lip would look very nice.

edit: is pnsji's painted wheels flat or glossy?

Paint = cheap but easily get rock chipped.
Powdercoat = expensive, but stronger

besides the cost of the rim itself, how much does it cost to powerdercoat and polish?

pnsji: Are your center caps chrome? because in your signature picture, it looks like your back wheel has a chrome center cap, but not the front.. :)

flat is such a better look. even if you were to paint it yourself it would hold up very well so long as you took the time to prep the surface correctly.

i myself would like a simple 5 spoke and get those flat black....... spooooonnnnnnnn ffffffffffff twwwooooooooooo.

now that would look the best. Ive been searching but nothing yet. but one day ima ditch my wheels for a nice flat black five :)

714 you know you want flat so why bother asking about the other colour :p
