I think the car would like killer with satin black paint and those black rims. I'm not sure if the rims alone give it enough change.

I would say do it only if you can get that exact type of look, like anodized. A rattle can job will look like **** and cheapen the look of the car IMO.

Ok, cool. I have just seen too many rattle canned wheels that chip and look really terrible after a short while.

If is does come out terrible, its spray paint, it will come off with some paint thinner.

I think would look great. Red is one of few colors that pulls off a black rim really well. Here is a link to paint a set of salad shooters. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2357346/3
I painted mine the exact way and I rocked them last winter when I had my chrome ten spokes. They lasted all winter and still look great, Wet sanding each coat was key for a nice shine but if you want a satin look then i wouldn't worry about it. GL and get some pics when its done.

I say go for the 1993 Cobra R look. I know you said the centers are rough around the edges but you could either re-sand and repaint them graphite grey like original and color in the pony, or find a cheap set on ebay or craigslist. I'm sure they are a dime a dozen.

OK, so here we go against the grain. The FLAT BLACK has the look like it has 127 layers of BRAKE DUST on it. If they were shiny BLACK, with a polished lip it might look better, but again, just my  Maybe a set of CHROME COBRA wheels would really set it off, but I don't know your cash flow.
