I'd say if you really want to paint it, go with something unique like blue, gunmetal grey, ect. OR I like the custom paint idea. Buying an ebony would make much more sense if your looking for a black VX. You might even make a little money selling yours and buying an ebony as the Protons seem to sell for highest price. Personally I love the rims... love them so much that I have them on my VX.
