I had flat black done on my old scu and they were the best. They always looked good never faded. I did blue bead locks but black on black would be cool!

This was my old car satin black with polished rings. went satin because glossy would turn satin eventually anyway. new car went black on black I think it looks a little better but dont have any pics.

It will look really good since your beadlocks are also red it will break it up and show detail.

hell yeah... do it! The only thing is that it doesnt matter if you go gloss black or flat. The beads tend to keep the sand in the inside of the rim and creates a washing machine and turns it to flat black after a few trips. Still looks bad ass though!!! Do it!!!

Your car looks great, I was thinking about powder coating my wheel and bead lock ring black, then leave the center hub red.

I'm at work right now and dont have photoshop on this computer but I will turn your beads black as soon as I can so you can get an idea of what it looks like. I would personally leave the beads red.....I think it looks awesome

I dont like it like this......I think you should go with black rims and leave the beads like they are. This is too much black without a contrast. Do you have any better (and bigger) pictures of the car?

you should get your rims done first and see how you like it, then you can always go back and do the beads later

I agree! Personally I don't care for the all black look but that's just my opinion. I think with your color scheme it would look best with the red and black broken up just like your car is.

That's true, but taking those bead locks apart is kinda a pain in the a$$.

yeah. I actually have to get mine re-done (already). I scuffed them up getting it into my trailer. I put tie downs between the rear wheels to crank the suspension up (and make my car about 5 inches narrower). When I turned around to put it in the trailer the tie down let loose but I didnt realize it until AFTER i tried to drive into my trailer. sucks
