Can't decide what color to paint my RT rims

Guys, I'm trying to decide if I want to repaint my RT rims. Their the stock white right now and I'm looking at blacking out the wagon later this year (jet black paint, limo tint, etc). I can't find any pictures of a blue wagon with black RT rims. I'm open to other color suggestions as well. Has anyone here ever painted their wagon gloss black - found a couple primer black ones, but haven't seen a gloss black. If you have pics I'd love to see.

    Satin Black + White RT rims is my vote.

    I'm thinking something like this instead of gloss too - I think I just keep second guessing myself on it - worried that it won't look good.

    You don't think murdering something out is played out?

    I'm mainly just doing black paint, rims and tint. Not gonna do lights or anything. I haven't seen any black wagons - found a pic of one, but that's it. Plus I live in Idaho - not many murdered out cars here - lol. I'm mainly trying to find pics of any black wagons and also ideas on colors for my rims with the light blue oem paint.

    im over here on the East coast and lots of people do the all blacked out look... crazy to see some 20-26 inch flat black wheels on a Hummer but they buy them
    I think your RT will look awesome flat blacked out... or if there was a way to get the HAMMERED look.... on an entire car that would b awesome also.... probably expensive though ...

    DO IT! I want to satin black my wagon so bad with the red wheels. I think it will kinda have a hot rod look....
  • stampernstampern Senior Wagonist

    And new to the forum.....afidarkside's black wagon, I think it might be the wagon above but not sure. The wagon above was originally blue and afidarkside said that the original owner painted his wagon black.

    Wow, I've always liked black on cars and thought it would be nice to have a black wagon, but after seeing those pictures I'm not feeling it.

    strange.

    tru dat. imo all black is for someone with no imagination. its too boring to me.
  • stampernstampern Senior Wagonist
    Ya, after seeing pics of the black wagons, I'm not feeling it either. I think I'm gonna do it Gunmetal gray instead. I've seen a couple of those and love them. Thanks for the help guys.

    I just got done repainting mine white. It's the fusion spraypaint satin white. It isn't perfect, but I think it will hold up until next winter.
