Here are my TE37 Ultras. Flat black powdercoat from the factory

All of the etched logos and the etched lip were filled in with red. This was absurdly difficult and required a bodyshop to do it with a fine brush by hand, it cost $100 per wheel due to the time it took, and it still didnt come out perfect since the detail is so small.

The NISMO log on those wheels is much MUCH easier b they are large block letters. It would still need to be done by hand but it wouldn't drive someone insane tryna do it.

Your best bet is to find a pinstriper or bodyshop that is willing to take the job
A pinstriper is the way to go. The black on the top of my shiftknob was done by a pinstriper. Before and after pics. Your wheels look nice!
