Default Another Poll...Rear Ring Colors..Sorry Bad Timing

I'm really torn.....I know it's about personal preference, but since it's the rear, it'll be everyone behind me who will be looking at them.

I did the front rings body color

Colored rings look corny to me, but you could go with black to off set the white upfront against the black grille.

I choose body color to match the front and also the fact that I barely see anyone with rings that match the car color.

Yeah I go with the flat black. Body color wouldn't stand out and I'm proud of my rings.

I agree. The body color rings really stand out against the grille, me gusta mucho

I dunno about the back rings though, black would look cool but i've never been a fan of flat. Although now that i type that i dunno how i feel about gloss black either lol. lemme think about it some more

EDIT: ok i've collected myself lol. I think painting the rears the body color too would be cool. Very subtle, but like jiggelo said, you risk losing them in the trunk lid, know what i mean?

Thanks for the comments and the suggestions. I'm shying away from matte black, I just think it would look right. I also thought about the body color blending in and just no having the rears stand out. Which is why it's a toss up between removing them or taking the time to paint them.

body color would look sick too! prob the fact that it blends in will make it look kinda custom like its part of the body
