Default powder coating 2wd rims

I have the stock 2wd swirlies and I was wondering how you think they would look powder coated gloss black? If someone could photoshop a picture for me or something that would be great.

I've yet to see a set painted solid black look good on anything. The shape is too busy to look any good one color. A black with gunmetal or dark grey highlights does look good tho.
