I know there are a number of threads with similar questions, but without asking my questions within all of them, I thought I'd make my own.

I am new and dumb to upgrading rims on any car, or owning a car I'd even bother to 'personalize'... That said, I'd like to have black rims for my 2lt in black. I've looked at a number of threads and saw many rims, pretty much all of them I like in black. (ex. OEM split spoke in black, 1le rims, m228, and recently looking at the 6th gen zl1 replicas, etc).

I've at least learned that many rims would need tires to fit them. I am on a budget, so keeping my stock tires would help, however I understand the appeal to wider tires so not 100% against it.

For me this is purely cosmetic. I daily drive my car - and will probably keep my stock rims for winter (not 100%). I would have liked the OEM split spoke in black, although for the price of them, I think i'd rather get something 'different' than stock.

I guess me question is what would you guys all do if you wanted nicer rims and wanted them in black but on a budget without plasti dipping my own. Having extra set of rims in the future is okay as well, since I'll likely get a 2ss in the future so I could sell mine with original rims.
