Creative idea but Paint them with some cheap watercolor paint before you pay good money for a well done job,that way if you dont like just hose off the paint.To me black rims only look good on a black car, any other colored car with black rims reminds me of a tourist walking down the beach in shorts, black socks, and flip flops.Also once people notice the color difference they might assume you are a referee or some other kind of sports official.

I got one for you. Right now I have hubcaps on my car. One side is the factory Yaris ones and the other side has two that came from my Scion xB. Its funny because a guy at the drive thru looked down one day and asked if it was a new Scion model.

To me, black rims only look good on black or white cars.

As far as painting your wheels different colors, I once passed that idea by some friends and it got shot down. quickly. So I say forget them! Do it and do it big... people should respect the spirit behind it. Plus, its not forever if you decide they look silly. Good luck!

Lambos with black rims look good in white, black, silver, yellow, orange, and really, if you saw a red one with black rims, you're not gonna say, ah, that's ugly. (and for the record, I think the rims on the lambo you posted are kinda pointless... lets spend 300k on a supercar and then leave it with just enough rubber to keep up with a yaris on turns)

I've seen plenty of white, black, silver, mm, blue, and red yarii that look amazing with black rims. White rims on the other hand, only look good on some... but its your car and if you think it will look good, or if you just wanna do it for shits and giggles, I say go for it. You can't possibly get more flack then the iron cross spinners
