Default Painting rims & front lip.

So I seen pics of people that painted one spoke of the stock rim and I think it looks sweet! I also see where people paint the middle of the lip on the front bumper like just below the bottom grill and I want to do it.... I see that people mostly paint it black but I was thinking of painting both the rims and the front lip white.. My car is metallic gray.. What are some thought????

do a paint mock up on your PC and let's see what it should look like. i can't imagine white on MGM looking better than black though...just me.

It's easy to do visual planning in paint

just take a pic of your car with your rims and put it in paint and draw. then post it here for some constructive criticism

one spoke orange on black would look interesting if your car was black color and/or had some orange two-tone paint.
