A guy at my body shop told me he could paint my rims. He said he would paint all of the black parts yellow to match my car. What do you think? Here is a pic of my rims.

I think they look awesome as-is but that doesn't answer your question. Just thought I would let you know!

I would keep it like it is, the black on the yellow calipers looks great. Might be too much yellow if you paint it

See!

Actually it does answer it. I wasn't really sold on the idea but wanted other opinions, and I thank you for yours.

You might want to try to photoshop it to see how it would look

That's what I'm afraid of. He told me that he would paint one and if I didn't like it, he would paint it black again. I'm not quite sure if that's even possible without looking like

I did, but it still didn't give me a good sense of how it will look. My photoshop skills are decent, but it would be nice to see how an expert would make it look.

I think a little body color on a rim looks good.

think looks good as is..with the touch of yellow.. ..just my thoughts

Might end up looking bad...yellow is actually a really hard color to pull off. The Camaro is one of the few cars that can pull it off so well.

I have wondered the same for mine but here is a pic from this year's SEMA event of a black/yellow rim and I was pretty disappointed. I really like your rims and would like to see what yours look like with the whole car. Hope this helps.
