Blacked out Stockers?!

was just researching for some pictures, and happen to come across these, haven't seen anyone on here with blacked stock rims.

just something to consider for whoever was trying to see how they would look

what do y'all think?

Does having the wheels blacked out help mask the huge amounts of brake dust? I have really been considering having them blacked out and painting calipers.

im trying to see how it would look with my car.. with the black painted grill and all, and i guess what i meant to type was on a black w211! sorry

as far as brake dust goes on black wheels to my knowledge, just like you have to keep a black car from getting dirty, wheels will be the same, they will look grey instead of black

I rolled on black stockies a while back but after pickin up a set of OEM CLS wheels, I moved the black ones to my track set. I definitely liked the black but got bored of them after a while...
