Black on red does look better than black on any other colour. In saying that, as soon as I can afford it mine are going white.

I'm gonna go against the trend here and say I'd stay with the original colour, I thought them wheels looked really nice as they were.

I wouldn't dabble in things I don't understand. And it's still cheaper than buying a new set of rims.

In fairness mine aren't bad at all, they came just a little curbed around the outside of the rims.
