    So I’m currently thinking about painting the stock wheels to all black. Can’t really afford new wheels at the moment. I kinda like the look the 17 off-road wheel has just not a big fan of the chrome. What type of paint do you guys recommend? I’ve never done this and I do not wanna pay someone to do this. I will soon lift the truck with some 285/75r16 wildpeak at3 tires if you guys have any ideas on color please let me know. I’m opened to ideas. Thanks.

    Yes as afar as I know it's as good or better than paint as it can be peeled off and the rim can be restored pretty easy unlike paint

    There is a guy on here who makes decals that cover up the silver on those wheels. There is pics and it looks really good.

    If you go the plastidip route, plastidip then after you change your tires. The tire removal may peel the edges.

    I have mine plastidipped but recently changed my tires which caused some of the edges to peel. Now I'm waiting for the sport version of those decals that Hipsi just mentioned. They do look really good! Almost makes me which I had off-road wheels.
