So you want to paint the stock wheels black? If so, I don't think it would look that great on a white car. The stock white looks pretty good when they have new/nice paint on them. I'd repaint them the stock color or either a light gray, possibly a gray similar to that on my stock 93 wheels http://photo.starblvd.net/mfewtrail/2-1-1-1077400423?m=1&pg=1&ro=0&co=0 or either a bit darker??

 

EDIT: Marcus, do you have photoshop? I'd like to see what they would look like black anyways, maybe that would help in your decision.

the bumper and hood look weird because I photoshoped them white because they are grey in the photo.

I hated the stock hubcaps that came with my car and couldn't find any nice wheels for a good price. So I went to the junkyard and bough some crosslace wheels and painted them black, I just used a couple coats of good quality gloss black paint and some clearcoat. They've been like this for 3-4 years and still look pretty good, in the summer I rinse them off and cover them with black magic. http://www.imagestation.com/mypictures/inbox/view.html?id=4187043671&url=http%3A//www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid104/p4b4380f4476c4db0748957b42e03b1c7/f9913757.jpg&caption=zarf%20front%203&album_id=4289876885&from_album=1
