Default Does anyone think this might look ok?

I'm thinking of getting my rims powder coated this summer after i get my car repainted. Heres what I cam up with so far in the chop I did. I want a black rim with a silver lip what do you guys think honestly? Oh yh and don't mind the tinted headlights I got bored and choped those as well as a drop and window tint but just look at the rims and the color of the car. Thanx

Sweet at least im not the only one who likes it. I just emailed a company that does powder coating to get a quote, im looking into alternatives though, I could paint it with some heavy duty paint used for like cat walks and other parts that are heavily walked on if I get my dad to paint them because the company he works for builds elevator platforms but I'm gonna wait to see how expensive it will be to powdercoat.

see i always heard that powder coating rims makes them weaker... I don't know if its true but thats what i heard. I would say just paint them me and my buddy painted rims before and under normal conditions it didn't chip easy .. just prep them good and spray with a gun and clear coat them thats how most rims are done. my rims came from adr and they are just sprayed

I think it looks 10x better by the way
