Painting Lariat Wheels

Does anyone have a picture of the 18" Lariat wheels that the background has been painted Black? I saw some that were painted red but i need a good picture of some that have been painted black.

I guess i should be more specific. I have a set of 05 lariat rims that have the machined face and AZ Beige "trim" (the 04's were argent?). I dont know what else to call it. The part of the rim that's not machined.... Does that help?

My truck is black with silver flames and the AZ Beige in the wheels would look like, well you know, poop.

Someone on here had black decals cut to fit in the center of the spokes.
I checked around but can't seem to find the post about it.

Only the 2 tone Lariats had AZ Beige on the wheels...I think. Solid color trucks like mine are silver.

Not so with 2005....all the Lariats have AZ Beige on the wheels...I don't like it b/c it's the only AZ Beige on my truck...but then again it looks more like shadowing and helps hide the insane break dust. Still shouldn't have been done in the first place though.

Huh... thank god the Tan Terror's wheels are all machine baby! Unless your truck is black, painting it would look hella-lame.

Nope...those are from a 2005 Lariat. Same wheels that I have on mine.

So much confusion going on here.

Wished I had photoshop bro. I know what you are wanting I just don't have the tools to help you out.

You're just going to have to break down and paint one and see how she looks.

Don't wash 'em for a week. They'll be black.

Brake dust is crazy on these things.
