The only cool black wheels are Turbo-A wheels, black wheels all look like steelies that are missing hubcaps at speed...

these are not common wheels, i think that they look good as-is and would not change them. i think you could easily end up damaging them and decreasing their value, that being said if you want to change the color i think a 2 tone (inside ring and cut/ outside flat face and lip) would a way to go. solid colors on this wheel will be intense. if you like really intense, shocking wheels as a statement i would say to go sparkle gold or HKS anodized-look purple, or for a clean look the gold STi subaru wheel color is a good choice.

get some spares to play with before you do anything would be my best suggestion and photoshop is your friend

I don't know how to use photoshop, thats why I put a pic up for people to mess with colors. If you wanna do some changes with the pic go ahead. I have always liked gold wheels like the Super Adans.

yeah i would leave em be i was just showing what black looks like on a white car

Yeah, but yours look decent because of the polished lip, if the whole thing was black it would be another story.
