Ha! how'd it look?? It's funny, wheels like the ones that come on the Audi RS4 really do look the same as some really bad break dust build up. Maybe I should just do that and save some cash....

I don't think those all black wheels look very good at all.

If you decide to experiment, try something I saw done on a Porsche 996 GT3. Both GT3's pictured below have the same wheels but the front one has the wheel centers painted and the outer edge of the wheel was left silver. It was a creative trick to achieve a very nice look. Up close you could see that the masking wasn't totally perfect but from even a short distance it looked just fine. BTW, both of those cars were tearing up the track!
