me too, Space!!!!! I would even like to have black steel rims.... but I think I am going to attempt to paint my stock alloys. I asked for advise on the "do-it-yourself, mods" section on the best way to paint them, unfortunatley I am incredibly cheap so I will try discounted version of their suggestions. I am going to sand the existing finish and then rub on the black paint, then give it a topcoat of clear, (yes, I watch Trading Spaces). In theory, this will give my wheels an Antique-y type look and should look quite good with my SMM E. If it looks like crap then I will regroup and think about having them professionally painted or just get new ones. I'll post pics when it is done.
