    The black and red looks kinda cool. So does the black/silver. But I would go with straight black.

    Well I painted mine today...went to the local car wash and used the tire cleaner shit and pressure washed it off...then wiped them down with a rag, masked off anything I didn't want black, then went to town with like 6 coats on each rim....just waiting an hour or so then I'll take the masking off and post some pics!

    One warning, I read that powder coating aluminum rims is really bad for them, so if they are aluminum, don't do it. (basically, the heat required to bake the powder weakens the aluminum structurally)
