Default Black Rims?

So i have a 99 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Its exterior color is Frost Taupe with dark grey trim. I have the stock rims(http://www.finishlinewheels.com/JEEP...99/A-09027U20/) Do you think they would look good in BLACK on my jeep?

I have a 96 xj in dark moss green with black stock rims and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cut out a couple of 16" cardboard disks. Paint them black, and tape them to your wheels.
Go walk down the street, and look at your Jeep from a distance, and see if you like the look.You could even get all fancy, and cut out the slots to see your brake rotors through them.................Remember........Once you go Black...........

I personally like flat-black OEM wheels on most vehicles. I say go for it and toss on some wheel spacers if you're planning on keeping them.

Why on Earth do they call that taupe, frosty or otherwise? To the rest of the world it's charcoal grey but I guess the color-blind paint mixers at Chrysler don't know this. My grandmother's nylons were taupe.

Oh, I've seen a couple GCs around here with those wheels in flat black and they looked good. I say go for it.

Dude id go to napa and get the gun metal flake wheel paint they have I think that would look damn good. They have black too and its real good quality paint ive used it on every vehicle ive owned and never had any problems chipping or anything. I like the gun metal flake idea but black would be sweet too.
