Cool Paint Wheels or Sell?-HELP/OPINIONS

Hey guys, i've got a set of Fondmetal wheels in 15x7J size that i've recently replaced with some RPF1s, which i love. I've also got a set of OEM wheels. My plan is to keep the Fondmetals, paint them, and sell the OEM wheels.

So, ill put pics of the wheels, and one of them on the car, and ask for opinions. Should i keep them silver, paint them white, paint them black, black with silver lip, or what? Let me know!

My last question is how much can i get for the OEM wheels? (Just wheel, no tire), and should i sell or keep the Fondmetals?

I'm open to anything, thanks!

for some reason, black with polished lip just looks cheap.. white with polished lips is usually an eye catching, clean look.. i've seen oe wheels go for anything from $150 to $350 depending on which exact set you have.. s4 se phone dials sell for like $75 a set hahaha.. but s5 tII wheels will go for around $200-400 depending on condition.. i've seen the 5 spoke wheels go for $150 with tires.. and s4 tII wheels just look extremely outdated and are usually overpriced and unwanted.. anyways, good luck with your wheels

my opinion would be white with polished lip on the fondmetal. sell the oe wheels for some gas money

Those particular wheels would look great painted white.

Your car looks nice... What color is it exactly?

Honestly man, i don't know. It was repainted the factory color around 15 years ago, using the same paint code, that's all my dad could tell me. It looks a little darker in that picture than it actually is btw...

By the way, GREAT choice on the RPF1's. Why paint the Fondmetals if you're going to sell them?

The Fondmetals look good on your car the way they are. They would look great painted white on a red car.

Well I'm not sure that I'm selling the Fondmetals. I wanna have an extra set to mess around on. I'm trying to decide if I should sell the OEM 5 spokes and the Fondmetals too to maybe buy some MB Weapons?
