RE: Blacking out on the cheap.
It definitely delivers the 'modern Euro' look in spades, and the cool thing is that it peels off if you want to switch back. Can't see a downside - try it, if you don't like it, you just gotta spend an afternoon peeling it back off (better than stripping, sanding, or buying replacement parts, though).

I did this on my bundts and it looks pretty good - left the lugs bolts and caps chrome as well as the lip

RE: Blacking out on the cheap.
I painted the rims about two months ago, it was a really quick job. So far they have held up, but a bump against the plasti-dip will tear it. I just did as a test, but so far so good.
