Tinting Rims?

Hi Guys,
I am not sure if this is even possible so any help will be greatly appreciated. I want the blacked out look for my truck but I'm not an huge fan of black rims. Is there a way to paint my rims with a tinted clearcoat or something like that, I want to iguess smoke the rims. Thanks for your help

If I were you I would powder coat them. Paint isn't going to hold up very well. Trust me, I've painted mine several times already.

They do make a translucent powder coat now that would look killer over aluminum rims.

Just my .02 cents

Yeah, they have a powder coat that looks, for lack of a better term, like "black chrome". Killer looking color.
