Need your opinions on black starfish wheels on a white 99. I am back and forth on painting mine black.

What about black star fish on a black 2000? I was thinking the same thing for mine...As far as the white goes, I think blacked out rims would look nice - if done well, just because they will stand out that much more obviously.

I painted some with stuff called plastic dip. Looks pretty decent for like a flat black, if you want it shiny you can just clear coat them also. The cool thing is, if you mess up painting them, or just want to go back to stock colors, it can be peeled off. Totally cost was right about $18, not too bad I thought. Here a picture of the before and after.
