Need your opinion...

Greetings everyone!

I been flurting lately with the idea of reapairing and painting my MM wheels in gun metal, since I can't afford getting a new set anytime soon, I think by doing this it'll give'em a face lift, plus get rid of the curb scratches and dents.

I photoshoped few pics of 2 possible variations, (spoke only and complete wheel painting), my favorite is the complete dark look, but this is why I'm posting it here to see what's YOUR favorite so it'll help me decide better.

Any ides on what paint to use also apreciated.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.


Now the pics...

DAMN JOHN I DONT KNOW It has to be between leaving them alone and with the spokes. you dont want to paint them black. (another batman car. but that white spokes looks tight as hell. DAMN hard decision. if the car was a different color id do the spokes but since its black just leave them alone

Here it goes,,, Hell no though !
I see the bronzey look alot on wrx's and evo's ,,, and that is definitely not the look I'm looking for, but thanks for your opinion...

My favorite is the full gunmetal look, to complete the rest of the car, I have all blacked out already so I think it would make more sense,, maybe?

Here's the picture.
