I agree. They don't work with the teal, maybe on a black car.
What colour is your car?

Paint them, I would if I were you. They would look good on your car. But beware people are going to say it looks bad and painted factory wheels are teh :ghey: Like they did with these:

I'm not a big fan of black and red rims but they would look decent on your red car. Red or black are the only two colors that i think can pull it off

some oem rims look nice when sprayed.. but if you can pull it off right. I think ls mesh rims look awesome sprayed black/red like you posted, along with hx rims and some other ones too. I would love to try that for my cousins black civic on ls mesh
