Its only good to color match wheels when there could be a lip exposed, like a 2 pice or 3 pice wheel. If you powder coat them completely they remind me of a car with missing hubcaps. IMO

I'll 2nd that. That's exactly how it would come off looking IMO. I think they look nice as they are.

If you're selling I wouldn't bother with it.

You need to sweep the driveway too

If I were in your position, I'd keep the wheels silver. First, you and me are way too old to be having black wheels. Second, the car isn't fast enough yet to be worthy of the blacked out wheels. Lastly, you'll have every ricer in nyc revving at you at every light.
