I am thinking about blacking out as well.

You can do a search and find alot of threads about people who have bed lined wheels and they have turned out nice.

Good luck,

If you don't mind spending a few bucks, you can usually have rims powdercoated for about $100 each (or better, depending on the shop). I've had several sets of wheels done in the past. If you get a 2 stage powder, it's got a clear coat finish. Brake dust and dirt wipes right off.

I have no grounds for comparison vs. bedliner though. I've seen a lot of people go that route on here too.

Well, powdercoating has unlimited color options and can have metallic flake added and such. And the clear coat finishing is a huge plus IMO...

I have some pics of a metallic black powder I did on my last car...

Well not to be a downer but stock Sahara JK wheels aren't "steelies". They are aluminum rims. Aluminum is generally anodized. This can be done many colors but isn't a paint.
