What is the best way to change the colour on the alloys on my 100hp from standard to black / carbon. Not a glossy / chav black, but a professional looking matt look would look great....possibly...well the car is white, so it would definately look bespoke...

Anyway, any hints or tips gratefully received!

I have a set of rims that I had painted satin black and they look superb. If you would like to go one step further then you will need to have them stripped back to bare ali and get them powder coated, however, this will not make your rims 'curb proof' and in time if not looked after properly will spoil like any other ali rim.
Another alternative is to paint the car to match the rims hehe
