Keep the wheels as they are. Like suggested earlier get the gold lugnuts and you will be "golden" no pun intended...lol.

I'd leave the wheels the same color, and just go with some gold lugs as mentioned above It'd look awesome!

The murdered out look is played out. Be original if you are going to do anything.

Can't find a pic on black, but the new darker wheels from the 2010's look great in person. Planning on painting mine this color once it's time for a tire change.

If you have absolutely GOT to black them out, get them powder coated instead of just painting them.
