To paint spokes black or leave them chrome with a poll

[46panel 10+ year member]

Going to be painting my explorer here next week and debating painting the spokes on the wheels black also and leaving the rest chrome. Just getting opinions.

My box is done in black leather and going to redo my headliner soon and hopefully more of the interior to all black.

IMHO they get kinda lost when black. Unless you paint your calipers or something //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well its going to have that charcoal gray like in the top middle picture, but windows are blacked out and reallyyyy almost certain im doing the rims with the black

i say leave them chrome i like the shiny look those rims have

I'm not digging the black. I say leave them chrome. However, if any paint/powdercoat is going to occur, I think it should be more of a gray/gunmetalish type deal. Something that matches the lower half of the paint better.
