Default Rim paint job, tell me what you guys think??

whats up guys... I got my hands on another set of the same rims I have, the 05 GMC 17" rims so I thought I'd experiment with them since they needed a touch up since they were a little damaged.. I had them sent to get all painted the stock aluminum color and around the inside of the gaps, painted black... Do you guys think it would look pretty good??


these are my rims and truck so u can get an idea on how it might look.

I agree.
I think it'd look pretty good, a subtle difference to set them apart from the stockers.

I think it will look good, kinda like the mid-late 90s cobra wheels. It seems to give the wheel a little more depth.

you know a couple buddies kept telling me to powdercoat them black, so If the way i'm doing it doesn't look good, i'll maybe try all black.
