Why not. Can't go wrong with black. Try plasti dip first, if you don't like it you can always peel it off.

I have the same color and I like the stock color wheels.
I did have the opportunity the other day to park next to one that was slightly lifted and black wheels,
for me...id did not like it
wheel color that is, the slight lift was ok...I liked it
waited around for a while to meet owner to ask about lift, but never met him/her ( Salem Costco)

Normally I like black wheels but in your case idk, I think they look good like they are! But try plastidip, as was mentioned. That way you can see if you like it or not.

For some reason when I commented earlier I was thinking your question was about painting the fender flares. Don't paint your flares black , they look nice as is.

Wheels ..... Black could look good. It is all personal preference.

Sorry guys... I didnt see the questions ..but i used my chicks high gloss nail polished then clear coat. Works perfect hardens like a rock and wont fade.

I know this post is old but I finally did it but kept lug nuts silver. Result?

 

[OldManKamps]

Looks great man! I'm considering this too!
That's a pretty original design on the emblem on your grill there. I like that!
Did you paint them or plastidip them and how much was the cost? Did you sand them down? My rims have a decent amount of aluminum corrosion and buildup.

I just plastidipped everything. Emblem I covered specific parts with painters tape. 4 cans of plastidip for 5.99 each at home depot. Before you spray wheels clean with dish detergent then windex. After that spray one coat.. wait about 30 mins if it's nice out, put another on, I did 4 coats each keeping a uniform pattern. Total was 28.00 for it all. I left lug nuts unspayed to give it a nice finish look.

Patience gets the best look. Did 5 coats on my grill and it turned out great

I have been kicking this idea around. My rims are in great shape, but my center caps are looking kind of bad. I see you are in Collierville. I'm in Memphis!
