   white all the way! looks mint on black - you could get a photoshop done first to see which you thinks better...

   was this thread aimed at what colour you should paint them?
   
   if you don't have a clue about spraying then dont do it they will look awful. Professional resprays start from £40 a wheel.

   Black on Black Street Racer - White on Black Motorsport
   
   Personally Black on Black for me on VTR and VTS rims but White VTS rims look good on certain colours just not Black

    glossy black, or save for some vts wheels, they look miles nicer than vtr wheels!

    ^^^
    
    Thats a Really good point, why waste time and money sprayin your R rims if few months down the line your going to buy S rims.
    
    If your looking to keep the R rims for maybe winter wheels its not so bad, pointless if you plan on selling them :-)

    Don't paint them, have them powder coated instead.
    
    I had mine painted and they started to flake after a few months then decided to have them powder coated. Much harder wearing and still looking immaculate!
