Default Black Snowflakes

I was wondering if anyone had pictures of stock z28 "snowflake" wheels painted black. I have these. I have a black car, pretty much blacked out everything should i go all the way and paint the wheels?? maybe leave just a small strip around the edge of the wheel? Don't have money to buy new wheels right now but hate these wheels, thought they wouldn't stand out so bad if i painted them black. let me know what you guys think

He is local so I knew where to look for pics lol ...black on black might look good until you can find some new wheels.

I bought the car like this and personally couldn't wait until I got my 10 spokes but then again I really don't care for black rims on a black car, but here is exactly what you are looking for.

Yes, thats what i was looking for. I agree with you, i don't know if that look was right for your car. I have the rs body kit, dark tinted windows, is lowered, and tomorrow i will have vht taillights. so i think i might be able to pull it off. keep in mind, this is just till i can afford to get new rims.
