Default Stock rims question

so after I got my tint today I started thinking my car looks kinda ___ with the stock rims on it since it matches nothing else... maybe its the perfectionist in me but its buggin me... HOWEVER my only other option right now since moola is short is either leavin em on silver. sprayin them white until i actually get my white ones, or taking em off and just leaving um how they look without em.. what ya'll think ?

Take those babies off and roll with the steelies and put on some trim rings. I just ordered them and they should be here on wednesday. I'm excited! Here's a thread about the trim rings https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=111710

Just leave the caps on as they are and buy rims when you have the money. I can assure you that most people do not mistake cap-less steel rims for black rims and white-painted hubcaps for white rims.

It's kinda like, "dude, it's not like we can't tell it's a combover."

I bought them from the same ebay seller a few people referred to on the link I posted. Here's the auction I bought mine from, he still has one set left. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/15-Ch...QQcmdZViewItem

I say rock the steelies without the hub caps for not. I dont think you should get white wheels personally white wheels on a white car makes it look like a toy to me..... I dont know why but it does....... I dont mean to rain on your party but if you like the white wheel white car thing go for it! Just throwing out my .02 cents.....
