Ive been looking for black rims, I really like the Moto metal 957 wheels or thinking of getting the rims I have now powdercoated black a friend that works at a PC business quoted me at 50 bucks a rim......and ive been wanting to do the headlight painting but im nervous ill mess it up! haha ive seen so many people do it, maybe ill look into buying a extra set just incase something goes wrong! As far as painting them black ive been thinking to PTM the headlights and keeping the surround and grill black to kinda balance it out? Not sure how itd look, if not itll be going black :-)

I have my new Black Moto Metals on my truck in the pic I posted on the first page of this thread. Love em! I have seen people try to color match their headlights and it just never looks right. But give it a shot if u want. I think Black is the way to go though. The whole truck being red is enough...u dont need the headlights to be red also. I bought my black headlights off ebay. Less hassle and I got them with the clear corner lenses too. Just an option to check out if u dont want to hassle with baking your headlights.
