Default painted my wheels

So I got bored last week and decided that I wanted to get my wheels painted. Put my car in the shop and after some lug issues finally got it done. They were bright silver and Ill be honest, the wheels have been my least favorite part of the car since I bought it. Now I like them a lot.

Nice, they look great!!! You should get a black front mesh grille to accompany those black wheels

I have the same color car, and I wouldn't mind black wheels, but I would do it without painting all the chrome and anodized trim gloss black as well. Looks funky without the full black out.

Gloss black on an XF wheel makes it look really aggressive. I just put some gloss black wheels on my car and it looks awesome!

Now put on some dust free ceramic brake pads so your gloss wheels don't turn matte black after every drive!

I have zero dust on the wheels of all my cars thanks to ceramic pads, and that
