Haven't seen those in black... nor have I painted mine. I am, however, getting ready to Plasti-Dip my Bullitt rims. You may want to consider that. There's less room for error, and if you don't like it, you can just peel it off- no harm done. My plan is to pop off my wheels, mask the lip with low tack tape, and mask the tire by sticking playing cards along the edge of the rim. Then you just hit it with a few coats of Black Plasti-Dip (kind of like hard liquid rubber in a can- buy at Home Depot or Lowes) and then finish it with a couple coats of clearcoat. (no clearcoat if you want the black matte finish) You should research the PlastiDip- it's cool stuff. You can do emblems, grilles...etc. It's easier to use than paint- and like I said, peels off smooth surfaces. It'll last for awhile though.

What sort of prep work does Plasti Dip require?

I did! I used plastidip; just clean your rims well, then apply! first i applied masking tape though.. I applied at least 2-3 coats on each wheel. has held up very well for over a month; hardened like a rock after a week. I'd reccomend it.
