Wheels

What would everyone think if I painted my wheels completely black?
I've been thinking about doing it and I just found a great deal on two 17x11" ZR1's with drag radials on LS1Tech.com that I'm picking up tomorrow. Only other way to make all the wheels match would be to completely sand all of them down, paint the backing grey(or another color, red?) and the spokes black.

Here's picture from the seller:

BTW, yes they are the correct offset for an FBody. Don't let the C5 in the picture fool you.

I personally really like the chrome lip or whatever you have rightnow alot. Ask grant for a chop of the wheels on it and then I might have more of an opion.

I think it would look good. Although I like it how it is now, everytime I see chrome lips I think of your car.

I think I agree with Grant. If you added all the black lights it might look ok. Otherwise I like it better the way you have them now.

IMO all black rims look like they are dirty. Leave them the way they are. The lip is what makes the difference. If it were an all black car, maybe. But the chop looks like they are "cheap" where your current set up looks great. The chrome lip breaks up the rim and your eyes are drawn to that fact. Compare the two side by side.
