Thinking of painting wheels black

I may take my 20" volk gt-forces and paint them matte black. As of now they are mercury silver, but I would like a new look. Am I crazy. I know now it doesn't matter, but at some point in the future I would like to resale these. Also, does anyone know what it may cost to do something like this. Thanks,

I wish I never painted mine black. They lost the details in the wheel.

matte black would look good, gloss will shine too much. check this link out, its of gthizzle's gt-force rims, but he did his a charcoal color. matte black would be just darker, i think it would look great.

The car looks great, the only difference is that I would paint the entire wheel. Similar to time attacks, except no red stripe.
