I've seen but personally don't think it looks good

Powder coat > Paint IMO Powder coat last longer, holds up better, and I think is a little cheaper than paint. Get someone to photoshop it for you to see if you like it.

Personally not a fan but what really matters is if you like it!! If you like it rock the crap out of it!!

Was thinking about picking up a set of these for my Yukon, does anyone know if there's another center cap or decal that would fit them? I've been looking for a cheap set of 18's for mine for a while and found a set of these z71's for under $300...think'n about jump'n

Powder Coat them an Argent Grey. That way you still have a little contrast but you get that dark look.

I have argent wheels on my other vehicle (05 Grand Cherokee) and it looks pretty sick.

I was looking to do the same but hoped some one had done it already. Let me know if you end up doing it.

Is that Hoe lifted? If so how is the ride quality with a lift?

I think the issue is (for my taste) that the black wheels make the Z71 silvery front end/skid plate stand out too much. The stock colored wheels give that effect some overall balance imo ... so if it were me, even if I upgraded them, I would keep the new ones similar to stock finish.

You might try painting just the slots on the wheels black and leaving the aluminum alone that way it will have some contrast.
