Well I'm thinking about painting my rims black i searched around for a 3rd gen with my paint scheme with black rims but no avail, so i had my friend make a mock up in photoshop for me not as dark as i wanted but you get the picture, so how do you guys think painting them black would look ?

I like the black wheel look.
 






Search Bigapple... I believe he has the same color vehicle as yours. I would add that you turn the white letters in, and paint the running boards (or remove them).
 






I think it would look nice, especially with the above suggestions. ^^
 






thanks for the input guys, the running boards are just bolted on to the underside right ?
 






Should be. That's how mine were attached.
 












I ripped mine out with my bare hands. Actually, simple to remove, add a friend...

You have a sunroof??? Sweet! Ditch the roof rack maybe??
 






yea i have a lot of plans for it I'm kinda going for the street look but still want the ability to go off road if i need to idk how that will work out tho
 






With your colour I think gloss black would look much better than flat black.

However, many of the guys who have spray canned their rims have had peeling/chipping issues that look a bit unsightly. Prep work would be the key to doing a real good job.
