Paint wheels or not...

[steventadams]

I was actually a little surprised with how it looks. The black looks a little out of place on a white truck in the photoshopped picture but it looks pretty good in the real picture. With the 2 inch lift and bigger tires itll look even better. You might wanna consider some white lettering on the tires though to offset the black-on-black of the tire/wheel. As it sits now it looks like the tires look a little dull/flat color-wise. And i cant decide if I like those centercaps... they seem to stick out being silver on a white and black truck

i'm not so sure about it..i mean it doesn't look off-roadish to me..just looks like steelies.
Maybe stripping the paint from the part in the rim that goes in (the opening) maybe that might break up all the black and might look better.
If you can send me a clearer side pic of the rims before paint and i'll do it on photoshop

BTW its not that i'm not a fan of blk rims
A friend of mine got rims but wanted to put his stockers back on for the winter and wanted them to look "better"
So i painted them gun metal and clear coated them, i really like how it came out..i mean its not bad for stock rims.
This just popped in my mind..did you clear your rims? Maybe clear coating them might make them look better. Might be the flat paint look that isn't really catching my attention

heres a pic

The only thing I would suggest now that you have painted the wheels, is to paint the body along the bottom. The line would be the height of the bumpers like pictured below. I might be a little biased though...

I kinda like the look. But it isn't going to happen. For a while, at least.

The paint that is on them is actually reflective, and in person they look equally as reflective as they were before painting. The dark colors just don't come across well in the photo.

That one shows the reflectivity best, but they still look better in person. I also am planning to wetsand these with some 2000 grit paper I got, but I didn't have time so I will have to revisit that.

When you painted the side, what did you use?

Scuffed it with a scotch brite pad, and then...
