Powder coat my rims matte black. Opinions?
 
I'm considering powder coating my rims matte black. I love the stock-ish look of them in silver, but I think my car needs some more contrast. I'm considering power coating em matte black (here's a picture of a mercedes on some...

There are many choice as you know. One idea for you is matte black star with the lips gloss black or go all matte black with a silver or red rim stripe.
