Paint what color?
I got some Momo Arrows I can play around with and I was thinking I could either paint them white or gunmetal? I get mixed opinions from everyone. At first I wanted white, but now I'm want gunmetal becuase it just flows better with the rest of the car. The only thing white rims would do would get more chicks looking in my direction. So what is it? White or Gunmetal?

if you are just going to paint them I wouldn't use white... although I personally am a fan of white wheels
what color is your car by the way?

I'm so fuggin tired of having white rims. They get dirty every single day and are a pain in my ass to clean all the time. Black or gunmetal is the way to go, and will still turn chick's heads. I don't think chicks will come flocking up to you either way because no matter what you do it's still just a Civic.

My color is Milano Red(R81). When I had the rims on my car I always got compliments from all the girls I would go out with. Yeah of course they don't come flocking but there is always the thought of it
 . But like miata racer said If you're going to paint them don't use white. Is there anyone with photoshop skills?

Dude in white it will be a constant frustration to clean the small slit in between spokes... Just offering some real world advice. I personally don't really like them too much, they look like carrot-shavers lol... But if you like them that's cool. My opinion would be to keep/make them the color in this pic.

gunmetal!!!
i accidently clicked white. anyway, if you are anything like me you will hate to clean your rims. so stay away from anything that will look dirty. i rattle canned some steelies gunmetal after sanding them down and cleaning them up. the paint held up very well and looked pretty darn good. i think the paint only cost me $3. i would like to see pics once you are done.
