Black anniversary wheels?

Hey, I just had this random idea to paint my wheels on my '91 RS black. my car is white, so I think it would look bad ***. Im getting blackout tail light covers and window tints and painting the grille black too, so that would be sweet. What do you all think? Oh, only the 'spokes' will be black, the rim lip and the center cap will be polished.

I'm not a big fan of black rims, but I think they look alright if they're put on a white car. I'd say go for it buddy.

Revlimit did that to his 16's (originally off my 92 B4C) and it looked great. He used black engine paint. Very cheap and very durable.

I had a full picture of my camaro with the wheels on it but, I can't seem to find it (I searched the board but, no luck). Here's the best I have right now which isn't all that great (I wasn't taking a pic of the car is why)...

That's not too bad considering the 2 crappy pics of the wheels I've given.

mv66.. I've never liked the 15"-ers personally but, it may not look all too bad. If your old wheels paint is crappy, give it a test, you are your best critic of weather it looks good or not.

well, here's the deal. my car is white, and my dads car is black. we are redoing his wheels when we get the new tires (mickey t's out back and random tire #1 up front) we have a set of steel rally's on his car right now, and he's kinda got mixed feelings on the look now. so, we are going to grab his old 15" z28 wheels and redo them, painting the black and polishing all of the lips. i think i may grab one of his wheels and shove it on my car just to see what they look like on a white camaro. i will keep ya'll updated.

Woah Scott, what car is that you PS'ed? It's so nice and clean! It's what my white 87 camaro is in my dreams. I'd like to see the original picture.

This is a low mile 1LE that I found for sale on eBay a while back. It's still for sale and I found it online, but I can't remember where.
