I'd go with either a 60% gloss black, or 60% gloss dark grey/anthracite. The local shop has different levels of gloss, anwhere from 20-80% gloss. They said 60% was the most durable.

photoshop.
I'm selecting the wheels perfectly first so i can just whip over them with color.
but basically just create a new layer and start painting. then over on the layer box adjust the Fill and Opacity.

Go to siggynation.com and look at some of their tutorials
