I agree, too much of a good thing is still too much. Go black. Even though Orange does rock!

How about a nice compromise? Leave the wheel face black and paint the inspoke surfaces orange? It would be a nice contrast.

I would leave it black personally though. Unless you can paint the beadlock nuts orange and leave the rest black. That would be badass.

Default Paint them

If your are going to color them orange I would recommend you paint them. I tried to match some of my roll bar parts to the green on my jeep. Even if you are just a little off, it does not look right

Bead lock nuts, center cap and maybe lug nuts would look sharp, just enough to visually tie the wheels to the body.

I think you should do beadlock bolts, center cap, and lugs too

I have the same issue...thinking about doing it as well...but can't talk myself into it yet. I don't wait around too long though (lift and tires were on before I hit 1k on the odometer ) so you might be able to check mine out with it soon!
