those aren't black rims. they are black wheels with polished rims. a wheel is the whole assembly. a rim is the outer edge that contacts the bead of the tire. calling a wheel a riml is a "bling,bling" misnomer. LOL.

I would not recommend paint. Go with powder coat.

I like the look of the black bullits w/ the polished lip, but it still looks really close to stock. I personally would go with 18" chrome wheels instead but thats just me, its coming from a guy who had $3200 17" wheels and tires on his import though, I am kind of new to domestic tuning.

Really off topic but what about a dedicated set of drag wheels and tires, does anyone know what the optimal sizes are, and what options are available. Sorry to hijack your thread a little bit man.

I highly recommend purchasing 6 wheels. 4 for every day driving, and a spare set of 15" for the track.
