lol its just what I like, I like your old ones that got taken, the black/gold looks sick with black. My old rims were more flashy, but still simple, now I got these that are more for performance but still look good, gunmetel goes with my black windows, and you dont see to many people with them, thats pretty much how I pick em out.

Paint them black with a red pinstripe around the outer lip, but make sure it is very thin and discreet so that it doesn't appear to ricey
or that it looks like a pseudo-rat-rod and also complete garbage.

I remember with my truck, i had the stock 16" aluminum rims and some steel chrome 16"s and the weight difference with the 32" tall tires was very noticeable. but i liked the added offset of the chrome rims, so i used those for the wider stance.
