Default Black FX4 rims?

So im gonna be getting some new tires within the next month and im also thinkin about powder coating my stock 18" FX4 rims at the same time. im just wondering what your guys opinions on that are and if anyone has any pics of em on a silver F150 with the 04-08 body style. ive seen em on other colors and like the look but im curious howd they look on a silver one.

Take a pic of your truck with the stock rims, then use a simple software program off of the internet to "color" the rims.

You should be able to find a freebee program to do this,

Not powder. I'd avoid powder if at all possible, it's a poor material imo. Wait a few years, it will peel.

Here's my 06 Fx4. Rims are plasti-dipped. The plasti-dip has held up better than expected, and it's really cheap and easy to do.
