i was actually thinking this very same thought. would def be different. i dont think the silver looks bad tho.
consider powercoating them rather than paint. as you know, more resistant to chips. there's a local guy in my town that does this very reasonable but ultimately i'd rather put that cash toward another set of wheels.
The black looks sweet. Powdercoating is better then paint but you have to take them the wheels without tires on them so you can only do it when you get a new set of tires. I heard 20 bucks a wheel at a local powdercoating shop.
