Default How will this look?

Hey Guys,
Tomorrow I'll pick up a set of 17" Zetec rims and I"m thinking of painting (or powder coating) them black.

My car is Titainium (dark grey) so how do you think it will look?

Fredo

Yep, 'till I actually picked them up I didn't realise they had a machined edge.
I reckon you guys are right - black everything except the lip.

Black gloss do you think?

Sumpy . . not sure of cost but will let you know.

Yeah black gloss. Matt black will look like you haven't washed your rims.

I think they will look great! And I agree with the gloss black option as well.
