Check that thread out. BlackBetty has the same wheel and he painted them black. That should give you a good idea of what they'll look like.

Good luck!!

Idea. What about just doing the middle of each spoke? Where the grey is.

you should get them powder coated. much more durable than paint. you'll have to do it all over again when you get new tires..

All black makes it look awsome! But make sure they're painted gloss...
