My wheels black on black SS?? I keep thinking about having my wheels done in gloss black. If anyone here has some sick photoshop skills or any if that, Ill attach all that pictures I have shot in day time.

Thanks guys! I know ill miss the clean *** chrome on black! I dont know yet just throwing that out there.
These wheels are factory BMW wheels, They are called M-Parallel wheels. I was looking at buying wheels and a local guy ended trying this on his Z for a few months and I fell in love with the look and offset. Got a used set of them in perfect condition and had SS caps made for them.

Leave them IMO. I love those wheels. I knew they were the BMW M wheels but they look like high quality forged wheels like Fikses or iForged to me. Wish I could find a set for my car, I'd swap out in a heartbeat.

They're 18x8 and 18x9.5 right? Backspacing is pretty low IIRC, and they're off the E36 5-series cars (or at least those are the only BMW models I've actually seen them on).

You should be slapped for even considering painting those wheels. Car looks perfect IMO.

I almost hit a deer the other day goin 45mph and totaly swirved off the road, hit a curb, broke both wheels on the pasanger side and completely dented the rear qrt panel! Insurance is gonna pay for the damage but I still have to pay $1,000 deductable
So I figured new tires all around, streatch the rears to a 11 and powdercoat them black.I couldnt see the deer because of a car in front of me coming the opposite way, the car swirved towards me and I swirved the same way away from him and the deer, hit the front right side 1st, then the *** came up on the curb, tried to pull away from the curb on to the road but no traction on grass caused me to keep sliding same direction...hit the sign and got out, none of the cars stopped and just kept driving.

Yes sir, and they do a great job too! I don't know if you'll need the chunk that came out or not, but I'd definitely ask them if they do (if you still have it).
