    You should probably paint the front AND back wheels the same.

    J/k.... It has some good potential! ;)

    none except for crappy hub caps and floor mats.
    If you do paint them, you might want to have them powdercoated. Regular paint will just come off with rocks, dirt, and debris. Powdercoating is a lot more durable.

    Now she says it depends on what color you choose... not blue like my truck. (she must have missed the part where it says you want to paint them black.)

    If you do scratch your wheel where it requires touch up, it would be easier to touch up a painted wheel IMO than it would be trying to match the color of the powder coat.

    I am too. Someone on here used that hammered paint and it came out kinda cool. The black he sprayed came out like a dark gunmetal.

    A while ago I picked up a set of wheels from a guy that did the inside of those wheels instead of the surface.
