Default What color rims? Photoshop help.

I'm getting my SSS rims powdercoated on wednesday and wanted opinions on what color. I was thinking black but they can powder coat them any color. Could someone photoshop the rims black onto the truck, or any color they think might work...sorry but pink is not an option!!

Ok so here is the truck, it's an old photo

Before the color matched front end.



With the color matched SS cover and grill.

Here are the rims, stock SSS rims.




Thanks, I have till wednesday to decide, they are getting stripped of the factory silver coating right now.

I'm no fan of black wheels but on your truck, all blacked out, it will look sharp. Maybe somebody can photchop it for you?

i dont know if its the lighting or what but your truck looks EXACTLY like the charcoal interior color in the pics, like it has a tint of navy blue in it

i think stock color SSS wheels would look great but if you really wanna go with the cali thing go purple

Dark grey would look awesome, IMO. I'd make the color similar to the Torq Thrust ST wheels.

That charcoal looks damn good. Maybe try to have them coat your lug nuts too.

The color is Carbon Metallic I believe they call it. No hint of blue and I certainly won't go purple .
I thought about keeping them silver but...I dunno maybe someone can photoshop it that color too.

I have two concerns about doing it dark grey or try to color match it to the truck.
1) It would be overkill, truck would look bland and unoriginal.
2) Second is that if it's just a shade off it might look unmatched. Like when someone wears a brown shirt with a similarly matched brown shoes or pants...just looks awkward.

But if someone can photoshop grey or dark grey or color match it and it looks really good then I'll switch the colors to whatever looks best. I have till wednesday.

My suggestion would be a satin or flat finish in any color you choose. I like black, but see it all the time.
