Default Paint My Wheels Black? *Chop Inside*

I've been going crazy over this for months and months and months and months......ugh, I can't decide.

I want to get smoked headlighs/fogs, and paint my pony emblem black, get smoked tails, 3rd brake light, paint the reflectors black, ahahah, too much black.

What do you guys think about the wheels?

2nd pic looks cool. You need the lip to have a good contrast. When you say paint, you do mean powedercoated right?

I have no doubt that you are probably good, but the problems I've heard from just painting wheels is that it won't stick for long and eventually begin chipping. At least thats how it is in the motorcycle world, and I'd assume it'd be for the car wheels also. But then again this is just heresay. I'd def ask around about the pros and cons of powdercoating compared to just painting.

Yea.....but its going to be like 100+ a wheel to get them powdercoated....might as well just get new wheels for that price.

Beauty is expensive. Look at plastic surgery.

Go with 100% all blacked out, or leave it be, I wouldnt do like just the headlights, or just the wheels our sumthing, I would go all black, w/ OUT the lip because its not really polished, but its all up 2 you and what you like, But all black would def. be awesome
