i dont think they will look good. for me i think colored wheels only look good with a polished lip. with out, they look funny. or atleast back wheels do.

if you want to see stock black wheels, dont wash your car for 2 months. all the brake dust will make them black

that actually looks hot! when it comes to all black wheels, people either love them (like me) or just hate them.

i say go for it. i've had wheels powdercoated before and it doesn't cost very much and i know there are some good dark colors out there. i saw some pics of these BBS CH's and they looked insane. the powdercoat was something like velvet black, kinda glossy, kinda gunmetal.

It's different looking, but I'm not sold on it. Maybe that's cuz I just don't like all black rims too much, unless they're on a white car or have a silver lip.
