Default Painting wheels

I want to paint my stock 95 wheels black but I can't seem to find any pictures of anyone else doing it to see how it would look. I am worried about the center cap, I don't know if I should paint it also are maybe just parts of it cause I like the camaro lettering in the center. If anyone has already done this post a pic for me please. If not post your opinion.

Black wheels almost always look sharp.. Do you have a side view of your car? Maybe I could photoshop your idea so you could get an idea of how it might turn out!

Do you have one further back so you can see the whole car? I think it would look great if you left the caps the way they were..

It definitely looks better with the center cap silver.. And just a suggestion, but have the rims powder coated, not just painted. That way they'll be more durable!

I only have the one on my profile. Its to dark to take one now. I was thinking about painting part of the cap but not the whole thing. I was going to leave the middle of the center cap the way it is.
