Default Ugly wheels syndrome FIXED!!!

ALL FIXED new rims see bottom postGuys,

Bought the wife a new car and there is a problem......

The wheels are hideous!!!!

Now before I go out and buy a different set of 22inch rims can someone give me some options on the current ones in terms of colour.

Happy to take opinions also

Options I am thinking

1. Inner rim all black and retain chrome lip

2. All black including lip

3. painted silver

4. Charcoal with chrome lip

Pic below

can someone chop the options for me

I can see what you mean Shane - bit "scary"

Sorry couldn't help myself

Edit - it could be worse - they could be chrome "spinners".

problem with that is, the reflection off the dish will be chrome, so i would have to darken every spoke in the reflection.

Rims are horrid regardless of colour/finish.
Get new rims.

No doubt they aren't pretty but looking at the cost of new and knowing what will happen to these ones being used as the bub express I am hesitant to outlay big bucks that I could be spending on my car.

Just looking at the options, maybe a dark metalic charcoal centre is the answer as straight black is not 100% right

Im sorry, but I have got to agree.

If you can't get new rims go all black/charcoal (ie no chrome lip), stealth look.
