Leave them as it is ... Most partners don't really appreciate anything you do to the car anyway. They just see it as wasting money and more money, like mine always complain anyway and I seem to always make blank promises not to do anymore modifications, heh! Trying to get away with anything not visible generally ... Anything under the hood isn't causing an issue as yet.
Anyway, why do anything to them when you obviously know that they look like that on your car? The unique SW388 lives up to it's reputation either for being distasteful or adds a racing stance to your car. But the point factor here is the lightweight and also the color. If you change the color, why didn't you just get the regamaster version instead? Besides, I would come to believe that the SW388 is the best the way it came. After all, it's import tuners and car lovers that appreciate the look at the end of the day. I really hope you don't do anything stupid to the wheels. I know this is the set I was interested in buying from you sometime ago.

Mingster...how come you have spare rims on all four tires? Did you buy four spare rims when you bought it? They allow you to do that? :

mingster,
they look great!!!especially when you consider the performance(mainly weight savings) gains. they would look even better on a black 2s000 with the blue lugs and the new spoon calipers......

In quite true honestly, black non-shiny surface type of wheels don't blend very well with most colors. Now, for the more notable side of things. It looks good with the Spoon warpaint, red with black, blue with black, yellow with black, and finally black with black are cool as well. Silver and white though ... Hmm, I'll match silver with silver and white obviously with white which is probably the best combination.
