Painted Factory wheels?

I spotted these today and they looked awesome. How do you think these would look on a white car?

By the way this was on a really nice cab. It had painted to match seat backs and console. Almost made me want another cab.

Do not listen to Gee-Bee, he will just try and get you to buy a set of Dymags haha KIDDING!

I think black with a thin white stripe would look great! Really make the white pop.

Yes I did. They tried to tell me they were aftermarket wheels and I too could have them for abot $7,000.

I think they made an honest mistake but it was kind of funny.

Looks can be deceiving. It rides great but it's not lowered.The wheels are powdercoated and pinstriped.

I think the painted black wheels would look good on a white car but would need to be accented with white though. Maybe the very face of the wheel be black and the other portion white?

The stock wheels are really not that bad, what puts me off about them is that the stock finish is chrome/brushed. When they are painted they look completely different, much better.

Looks good since it has the pinstripe on it.
