Default Looking for pics of Black Rubicon Wheels

Haven't had any luck selling my stock 17" Rubicon wheels. Thought I might just keep them and paint them black. Does anyone have any pics of black rubi wheels on their jeep? Also how much do they cost to get painted? Thanks for any responses.

Well you could always just try getting the mountain edition version of them which I think look great. Then you have aftermarket ones which I cant recall the name right now but sell ones just like the rubicon and a version in black.

As far as painting them. Where I come from when I asked they wanted 100 a rim : /
