Get it done by a pro because you wouldn't just paint the spokes black..... You would rub the whole wheel down, paint the spokes in black basecoat and mask off the edge, then you would lacquer the whole wheel

think you would get a better quality finish if you got the rims sand or bead blasted also cause of the detail on the rims, although no easy to find places that do thi

when i had the wheels i wanted a polished rim

the place that did them polished the rim but fucked the job up going too far nto the paint on parts of it and then hits some of the spokes, its a tricky job with those wheels, but i guess painting them black should help!

the wheels ahave a fairly matt finish anyway
