Default Painted Wheels

Hey guys so i searched for this but as you all know our search isnt the greatest. I have the stock alloy xlt rims with 5 wide spokes. i was wondering what paint schemes people have done to them to make them look different? I have an idea to paint the center cap and the internal spokes black as black is what im going for. Just curious as to what other people have done. Let me know thanks. I want to change the look of my truck but cant afford rims right now. i will try to post up a pic of my rim

I have Lariat 20". I would really like to get them powdercoated in dark gun metal greay. I've been getting quotes of around $90-100/wheel.

I think what I'm going to do in the short term is just plasit-dip them in either black or their gun metal grey. I'll see how I like them and later when funds allow I'll powdercoat them.

I would basically do solid color I believe. I'm not crazy about accents on wheels.

Ok guys thanks. If I am going to spend that much in powder coat I would rather buy the rims I want haha. But what do u guys think of the two tone idea? I was playing around wit paint on the computer and was thinking of doing just the opposite. Leaving those skinny internal lower spokes aluminum and the rest black
