Default How would rims look if you painted the inside of them black?

Just trying to see if anyone has painted the inside of their rims black to keep them looking clean? I was thinking about it since I have AR TTII's, but have not yet seen any pictures floating around.

If you have any pics, please post them.

I think it'd be pretty cool looking and It would hide the dirt and brake dust to an extent. You'd still notice it but I'd rather look at a dusty black wheel then a dirty gray chrome/silver wheel that needs to be wiped down! Just my .02

Just trying to get an idea of what an actual wheel would look like and whether it looks 'funny' or out of place.

This should give you an idea. These are GM 35th wheels. They are all black other than the face of the wheel.

The insides of mine are black....I did it so it was easier to clean. Honestly, you can't see any differences from looking at them unless you really look.

I think black would show dirt just as bad or worse than polished/chrome would.....

It's actually much easier to maintain.
