Hopefully get back in a week. Can't decide if to paint the existing rims or get new ones.

A little contrast on the bezel is always good. Match that contrast to the wheels??
 
My wife looks over my shoulder and matter of factly says, "up-side-down bezel." :)


Looks pretty good. X2 on the black on black.

No brainer...you have to go with flat black rims in this case.....and you have to flip the bezel.
 
Subscribed.
I'm also curious about what kind of paint they used. Is the interior also flat black? Looks great! I can't wait to see more picks.
 
I like white wagon wheels better than the black, and I'd take the opportunity to paint the bezel white while its off the truck to flip over.

What color is the top going to be?
 
i would keep everything the flat black though...no shiny anywhere even on the bezel...looks great.
 
I turned the truck over so the bezel would be right. Will post more photos this weekend. Sticking with with flat black bezel for now.

I think you're right to stay with the flat black....it looks fantastic...definitely would not go glossy with the paint being flat....would just look wrong...I'd only do a flat black rim, or satin at most.....keeps the look right to me. This isn't stock here so I'd say you nailed the look.
 
I saw a 70 blazer that was matte black with gloss black flames. It was sweet.

My vote would be for gloss black bezel or gloss white for the bezel and roof cap.

Normally black roof caps look terrible. Though i have come across a few colors that contrast well.
 
I always liked dark bronze wheels on black, but that's just me...
