To each there own.....I definately can understand painting the trim.
BUT....maybe it's a generation gap thing (I'm 33) but black or graphite wheels just look horrible imho. I guess it's because I remember the days when most cars had hubcaps and when those hubcaps fell off the car was left with a disgusting black steel wheel. That's what any car with any dark wheel looks like to me.
But gold trim is even more horrid. Tacky tacky tacky.
Then again I think the X-fire's wheels are the best looking wheels I've ever seen.....so I can't imagine changing them.
