This might be in the wrong section, but I'm thinking about painting my wheels, part black. So I messed around in photoshop and this is how I'd like to paint them, what do you guys think?

AFTER:
I really like it, now I just have to gather up the courage to actually do it!

i think it looks great, makes the spokes stand out more. and i think BRR did this to his SRT rims, might want to look at the pics on his site.

It makes the wheels look bigger. I like it. Plus if you screw up, you can always paint them solid black. Black rims rule!

I kinda like it....but you'd paint it gloss black, right? I guess flat black would look alright too....

Gloss black, I think it would look the best.
I also thought it kind of made the rims look a little bigger, and yeah I like how it makes the spokes stand out more.

I think that would look great neonix.......however....that's a LOT of masking....just take your time and do it right.
Good Luck, make sure you post pics when you're done.

Yeah, but the way I see it is it'll be worth it, if I'm patient and take my time masking all of it off so everything is even.
And like Jeremy said...if I screw up, I can just paint all of it black.

Yeah I was staring at my car the other day and was like, "Damn...al black rims would look really nice too. Crap."
So I guess I have to decide which I think would look better. I tried photoshopping the rims to look all black but it didn't turn out so good.

(Don't say schoolgirl, either.)
