thanks for the comments guys!

as far as the tires go, i'm not too worried about it. the tire machine i have at work will mount and dismount a tire without scuffing or touching the wheels. If something does happen, i can have my buddy re-paint them.

I didn't even have to paint mine to get them black. Sprayed paint stripper on them and after i wiped off the stripper and gunmetal paint they were black underneath, nice and glossy too. total cost was $10 bucks, $6 for the stripper (paint stripper that is) and $4 for the clear coat.

Satin Black FTW! Gloss shows any flaws in the paint and the wheel itself.
