They would look better in a glossy finish i bet, but do what you want with them. Dont let ppl on here tell you what to do/not to do or what looks good/doesnt look good. Besides its a shitty *** photoshop, it really doesnt give you a great idea of how it would actually look.

My suggestion is to go out and get some flat black vinyl, put it on your wheels and judge for yourself up close and personal, because a photoshop isnt going to do much for you at all.

A larger, higher resolution picture would definitely help give you a better idea. Need more pixels to work with. Probably wouldn't look too bad.

thank you. im still not 100% i still love the billet look. only reason i asked previously owner did not care for the wheels. they are pitted pretty bad from brake dust and such. i might just have them redone. see if they can get the pits out and repolish.
