I have KMC Hoss Rims with "Fake" Beadlock Rings.

I have painted them Stone White to match my JK but considering a change. Need your help.

Do I Keep White?

Change to Black?

Or Remove?

Man, warn a brother before posting something like that. I nearly threw up on the burrito I just made.

In you're situation it's stands out cause of the colour If you want to be unique keep them.... Don't take them off though!! If anything paint them black make it appear the rubber looks chunkier.....
I'm a Huge STEELER fan so I took a chance painted them Steeler colour's ... Took a while to get use too .... But now I love the look!!! It's stands out as different and I get tons of looks and "cool jeep" compliments.... Or friendly jabs.... "go Packers" or " Miami Dolphins"
I can live with it!!

x2. you're hiding some nice looking wheels there. however, if you're set on keeping the rings, black would be a simple and inexpensive change if that's what you're looking for.

Sorry but I don't like the white...too "in-your-face". Try painting them a dark pewter metallic color instead of plain old black. It would compliment your pure black wheels and provide just enough contrast to show them off. Black rings and black wheels=boring.
