Default Black stock rims?

Hi everyone. I have a black '00 Dakota regular cab. V6 2wd.

I was wondering how bad the stock 15 inch rims would look blasted black with plastidip. Anyone ever seen that?

I hit a bird that decided it hated my grille, so it's gutter guard now.

I think the stock look Is great myself especially if your truck is dark colored now it makes your wheels stand out with black they would blend in with the truck kind of mushing up the looks of the truck.

I will say I'm no fan of black rims never understood the black look craze?????

I have seen someone do this with a black Dakota and it looked bad in my opinion

Get a can of plasti dip and spray a wheel if you dont like it then peel it off. I personally like the other 15in rims that dakotas came with. They can be had for pretty cheap.
