Well, IMO, I wouldn't black out the wheels unless you get some PTM bumpers. Since you have chrome bumpers, I would leave some of the aluminum unpainted on the king ranch wheels, if you go with those. My favorite aftermarket wheels are the **** Cepek DC-1 wheels in black... those have some silver showing as well.

I almost picked up the DC-1 wheels but I got the KR's shipped to my door for 200 bucks! PC can be done cheap and great quality so I'm contemplating that!

Well you could do what fairlaner did, flip what he did (paint the spokes leave and the wholes), or leave the lip and paint the rest it kinda depends on what look your after. As far as color since you already have the crom black thing going I would stick with that, If you where to go with to differnet shades you might have to worry about clashing. You could go with a flat and high closs that might work out well.

Thanks! I didn't want the wheels to look like they came right off an expy. A little paint changed the look of them a lot.
