Default Should I do this?

I want to get these painted, but they're rather expensive wheels if I don't like it. Lemme know what you think.

Studs not painted:

I'd either avoid painting it all together (my first choice ) or leave the studs unpainted. Makes the wheel look clasier.

What rims are those? Pretty tight. I say paint the studs. Oh yeah, what size are the rims/tires too?

I, as well, like the unpainted stud look. That's what i'm leaning toward right now. I'd like to get some tint, blackhousing headlights and whatnot, so I think the black rims with the polished lip would compliment the theme (batman )

They are 19x8 Axis Ne-0 with 225/35/19 series tires

if theyre 19s, i would keep them unpainted..... i have black rims on my civic b/c theyre stealthy, and look like steelies from a distance, but for 19s, its all for looks and tha *bling bling*
the polished finish loooks waaaay better then painted

I like them unpainted too...the way it is now looks very nice. I'm not a fan of black rims...but then again thats just me. I do like dark bronze however. BTW, your rims look very nice.
