My Jimny is currently Silky Silver all round with silver alloy wheels.

I really want to do my wheels in black, and the plastic trim on the body black too. So it'd be black trim on silver panels.

Anyone done this or seen it?

I really want to know what'd it'd look like before I go ahead and do it.

I spray painted my rims flat black, worked out well for me because if I scratch them off road I can just get another can to touch them up, but something like the trim I would get done professionally.

I dont have photo shop on this computer but im sure if you put up a side shot of your truck another user on here will be a good bugger and do it for you so you can see what itll be like.

Would look horrible with black plastics IMO.

Mines silver with black wheels and tinted windows with wind deflectors, looks nice;)

Personally I can't stand the black wheel look! The tyre sidewall and the rim just merge into one big black disc and to me it looks like an old banger with no wheel trims. Silver or white rims do it for me!

I like when people paint the lettering on black tyres with black rims, makes it stand out abit more
