Default Help me make a wheel choice please!

Okay heres the deal. I had these rims on, but took them off because I wanted to change up the look. Then I bought some new staggered 16s. To say the least, they were not as advertised and was not pleased so I had to get my money back. I was trying to sell these rims but no interest so I'm going to keep them and get them painted. I did a couple photoshop renderings. Tell me what you like best or give me more ideas! Thank you, Scott

The rims aren't bad at all, but PLEASE don't paint them as shown in the third picture! It just makes a good design look foolish. Five spokes to four lugs is strange enough (I have them, too) that they don't need to be highlighted by silver paint! My vote is for the first picture, because it just looks clean and subtle. Five spokes to four lugs is still strange in this picture, but of the four, it has the best look. What kind of rims are those, anyway?

Rim one looks nice...made me look more than once...a strange sort of hypnotic look to it.

Where is the option for "I don't like any of them?" Sell them and try again. Sorry, thats just my opinion.

No offense, but can you not read?
I had these rims on, but took them off because I wanted to change up the look
i had them on already

I was trying to sell these rims but no interest so I'm going to keep them and get them painted
i tried selling them but no good offers

if someone wants to buy them, theyre open to shoot me an offer. Since I cant sell them though, I am going to get them painted. Give a suggestion on how to paint them if you dont like the ones I provided. Be a useful mammal please

I agree with Kremtok about the 5spokes/4lugs. it is always disconcerting to me to see that pattern because things just don't line up well and those striped patterns make it more noticable. For a TCM, i'd maybe try painting the spokes and hub silver and leave the lip black

That's one of the things I love about my wheels - 4 spokes + 4 lugs = symmetry

sym·me·try (sĭm'ĭ-trē)

1. Exact correspondence of form and constituent configuration on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane or about a center or an axis.
