Very tough decision, I love chrome and the black. I think I may go with black wheels some day, because it is so intimidating.

I just painted my wheels Graphite Metallic (with the Dupli-Color wheel paint) - and they look absolutely stunning. I was going to leave a polished lip on them, but I didn't really have a good lip to work with - so I just painted the whole wheel, and I still love it.

They are holding up very good as well.

I like how it looks, well, IMO. and I think you should get something silver to go with the lip, just one single thing, maybe a billet fuel door, or a grill, or chrome license plate frames.or sum.

You're starting to make me sick, Zack. Death to black/black!

How somebody would think that actually looks good?

Do that ASAP !

Only the spokes (gunmetal would look even better)

the spokes is all I planed to do. But what about the inner part of the wheel? leave that chrome, or do that black too?
