One thing that has helped me when doing this kind of stuff is Photoshop.
Its pretty easy to take a photo and change the color of a certain area. It enables you to see what it would look like. This is a photoshop pic of what I wanted my car to look like (tinted windows, and partially blacked rims) You thinking about doing 100% of the wheels or leaving a little bit silver?

Another cheap way to check how it would look would be to plasti-dip them black.

Yeah the plan is all black the polished lip in my opinion is cheesy. The plastidip can just peel off right?
... I want your wagon

IMO I'd rather spend $14 with p-dip to make sure I'll like it before I invest a couple hundred. good luck with whatever you choose! Quote:
