Which looks better, the chrome or black trim rings on my car ?

[jwakil]

You guys helped me stay with my Fuch wheels, need your opinions again...chrome or black headlight trim rings?

[Arne2]

I'd buy a pair of the primed trim covers and paint to match the car.

The painted body colored ones are my favorites.

[jwakil]

The body colored would also be my favorite, however, not sure if I can match the paint at reasonable cost.

Yep. Get the paintable covers and match the body colour. You can likely get a body shop supply shop to match the paint and put it in a spray can. If you have some painting skills, it should be doable. Or just get a body shop to squirt it for ya. Shouldn't be too pricy.

In my opinion, chrome rings are best with bright window trim. Black just looks lazy to me.

BTW, the red seats look good with the the blue. I'm kinda digging that. Marine Blue? Perhaps a shot to show the two colours together is in order... I was/am seriously considering an interior change to a blood red with my blue exterior.

The black trim looks out of place. The Chrome blends in with the headlight, so that is the better of the two. My choice would be painted to match body.

Body color, then chrome, then black, order of preference

Paint them the color of the car.

+1 Black just doesn't work at all

Why not order a can of $30 color coded paint (Spray Max 2k, with clear coat, for example)
and try painting the black rings to body color. Not much to lose.

If that is no good, then stick with chrome.

[Bill Douglas]

Body color is what the factory decided looks best.

[SilberUrS6]

Chrome would be great if all the other trim were bright. But body-colored is the best choice here.

[KBOUSTANI]

Black will be my choice.

I think painting the rings to match the body color is the way to go. It is a simple job to prep, prime and paint the rings.

The trim rings on my H4's are painted Guards Red to match the body.

[OffCamber00]

Another vote for black.

[WyattEarp]

Body color for sure. As said above lots of places to get spray cans mixed to match.

[biopsea]

body color or chrome. usually less chrome the better in my eyes, but something about how it plays with the glass h4 lens. works for me.

[Arne2]

FWIW, if you are going to color match, I prefer using the paintable trim covers rather than painting the black rings. With the paintable covers, no headlight disassembly is needed, and the adjuster screws don't damage the new paint if you need to readjust the lights. Plus if you put the painted covers over the chrome, you can switch back and forth as suits your mood!

I prefer chrome on the older Porsches; yours is a bit newer so either chrome or body color. IMHO black just doesn't work and, I'm sorry, black wheels don't either.
