To do to my wheels, or not to do?

Well these pictures are my car. I used to have red time attacks on the wheels, however i decided to remove them

I was thinking my car looks to black and doesnt have enough contrast, so i was thinking of putting a different time attack style ring on the wheels.

Vote away.

would you consider painting the wheels? A lighter color such as gunmetal would give the car better contrast.

Leave it as is, the contrast cokes from the shine in your car, it looks perfect.
