I'm personally liking the blacked out wheels with the silver caps. However, I might like the all blacked out style if there was a pic of the entire car (since it is red.)

Either way, both look good.

Find yourself a Powder Coater, not just a painter..You'll want whatever you decide to do to those wheels to last. Once a painted wheel starts chipping and flaking, it'll look terrible. It'll be well worth it for you in the long run to do it right..

I would guesstimate the cost to be around $75-100 per wheel..

I dont exactly want it to last. I will probably just rattle can them the first time to see if I like it. I would rather spend 20 bucks and realize I hate it then spend 400 bucks and realize I hate it.
