Default Had my OEM wheels black chromed.
Next step is to wrap all the chrome pieces in gloss black.

I'm not gonna lie it looks good but looks very similar to the stock F-Sport wheel color.

Not a bad idea! I might gloss black them with no decals after I finish wrapping the chrome pieces in gloss black. Will get pics up as soon as I get everything up.

I did my wife's IS (not my GS yet, but will) with gloss black and it looks great (both the GS and IS are obsidian). Left them on the car and taped everything off. Just be sure to get them good and clean before you shoot.
