Thinking of painting wheelsblack ROH RTs

Okay so heres the thing, I bought the ROH RTs got a great deal on them because of a slight color mismatch, dont get me wrong they look good. Im thinking they might look good in black. The color now is called black Ice but really its like a polished aluminum with a black candy. Looking for a do it dont do it opinion.

If it were me I would leave it as is, I would not paint them. But that is just my opinion.

Re: Thinking of painting wheelsblack ROH RTs

I see where your wanting to go with them but personally I would leave them as is also. The color variance must be minimal as its not obvious in the pics. Good looking car

Re: Thinking of painting wheelsblack ROH RTs

i think those would look kinda weird black. i think they would look a lot better with a natural shiney finish

Thanx everyone for the replies, and compliments. It was only an idea, I think they will stay the black Ice finish.
