I think black rims basically disappear inside of black rubber. I love the stock Moabs, but if I were to upgrade I'd go polished aluminum or chrome. Of course I think I'm the only one here that likes white letters too.

I have 2011 Silver Wrangler Unlimited and am considering painting the wheels matte black. With the black top and tinted windows, I think the black wheels will look good.

Since you have already had your wheels painted, is there anything you can recommend as to finding a place that does this kind of work? Do I just look for an autobody shop, a 4x4 accessory place, or...?

Here is silver with ATX Teflon wheels. I love the color, but they wouldn't be as easy to repaint when they get rubbed, in my opinion.

Included pics with stock wheels to show difference in looks.
