I personally think the black on black on black thing is tired out, especially with stock wheels. I would go with a gun metal or dark grey for a little contrast.

I agree with the black all around. Tired and was never very inspired. I also think it is time to hand up the sparkles for paint, too.

Also, unless the rest of your car is matte, go gloss. Have someone power coat them.

one reason I decided to go this route is because I have one full size original non chrome rim on the car now, either i wrap them all for 150$ at a professional shop ( gotta connect) or spend a grand max on new rims.

It'll look really ghetto. I'd sell the silver wheel for scrap, add that to the $150, and go buy a fourth chrome OEM wheel.

Painting/wrapping/dipping stock wheels in obviously non-OE colours looks tacky 80% of the time. Matte black anything other than trim looks tacky 95% of the time.
