painting my wheels?

ok so i just wanted to see what you guys thought. i am wanting to get my wheels powdercoated either black or maybe the same color as my truck. first i want your opinion on which color.

and second what all should i get painted on my wheels?i dont like completely black wheels so i was thinking about just getting the face painted and the lip stay chrome and the inside stay chrome.

Yep powder coating is your best best. I say leave the lip and the bolts chrome. The bolts would give the wheels some "pop".

id say not blue but i dont think black with chrome lip will work either on the truck. you might just be better off getting different wheels.

Personally I think they would look sick on your truck. Plus they'd be very unique. There's a guy on here with a garnet(?) truck and his wheels are painted to match. It looks pretty good.

Just my $.02, but I'd say go for it!
