what color should I paint my wheels?
 
My 2000 blazer 4x4 is black and I just got a used set of Cragar soft 8s. They have a little surface rust and they could use a paint job. However, I don't want black wheels on a black vehicle. It has a silver pin stripe so I was thinking of painting the wheels all silver or black with a silver rim. Or I could do gunmetal with a silver rim, or all gunmetal. I haven't decided yet.

Gun metal with a black or gold pin stripe (fat one at that) around the bead seat. Just my opinion.
Chrome center caps as well.

black with as bright of a silver around the edge as you can get. or just do the whole wheels in rustoleum hammered grey

I am thinking I'll do gunmetal with a a silver rim and get a set of chrome lug nuts and center caps.

So far I sanded the wheels, primed them and I painted the silver rim on 2 of them. I will probably finish them this weekend. Here are some pics.

Done.

I finished the wheels and got them mounted. I am pretty pleased with how they look. Right now it still has the factory lug nuts but I will probably get a set of Chrome ones at some point.

Thanks. I put 10 coats of paint (including primar and clear) so I am hoping they stay looking nice for a while.
