Looks pretty cool, but I'm not a fan of all black rims so my opinion is biased lol.

try doing a good job of masking off the lip and just painting the spokes a gloss black, that would look pretty cool

I agree, that would look very cool. The 17s I have are white (they came with the car when I bought it), in a way I kinda wish they were silver but hey, at least I have them and they look pretty good with my green civic so I'm not complaining lol. Either way, the black rims look good.
