we have a black jim had black modulars was tempted to paint new ones black as they could do with painting but keeping them silver, hammerite silver. think they look fresher. but black ones look good on highly moded cars i think.

100 % black it is ive been looking at black jimny with the black steels and like the look of it , it 3 blacks to choose from a black satin, black gloss ora fine black. dont want a dull black thou so not sure what colour is best, the chrome headlights i have reaper i wanted to get powder coated today but as they are plastic i cant i like the black masks you put on your jimny think its nicer than chrome, whats the biggest tyres i can put on 15" wheels guys im ment to order 5x 225-70-15 but if i can have bigger id rather it becasue ive decided to keep my alloys now and only use them when i go offroadign and keep the alloys on the road. cheers

Good choice. I like the steel wheels when they are black, and I'm going to paint mine black soon. Personally I would go for satin black as it seems to be the best of both matt and gloss.

Rub them down to give the paint something to key to then just spray and laquer them :-)
