Rims

Ok guys, I need some rim suggestions. Black rims that will fit a stock 2001 4 x 4 tire.

 

16 or 17 inch tire???????? I assume 16 but just wanted clarification.

 

This is what I'm getting

16 inch tire. I want solid black rims. Anyone ever painted their stock rims black, if so got pics?

 

I painted my wheels black. Lots of people have. Not a great pic since its supposed to be showing something else and a bit dirty, but you should get the idea.


The wheels I'd really like to get are these (but with out the center hub). http://www.superduty-hq.com/chamberteflon6lug.aspx

 

how did you prep the rims before you painted them? any trouble with peeling?

 

Just washed, sanded lightly, primered, and painted. they've been doing ok. I've had to do a few touchups after running trails, but hasn't been too bad.

The factory wheels are just painted as well, so I wouldn't expect it to hold up any less than that, except now they're black so they show every tiny defect.

 

I also asked this guy about his rims:
