There is someone on here with the older 20's painted black, I think he even has a pic in his sig of them painted black. If I was you I would upgrade to the newer 20's before you painted bc I think they look better black, but I am kind of biased

When I said not seeing them shiny, I said personally. I'm not talking about yours. I've had some people comment on mine being shiny and most all of the time. All of them around here don't look that nice.
I'd kinda like to paint mine though, but I'd do mine a little different.

i still say if i were to do anything like that with my own wheels or anyone elses...i'd powdercoat them in heartbeat compared to paint.....ever feel how hot your wheels get after driving on a nice warm summer day??? powdercoat would hold up alot better then paint would
