The coolest part about this powdercoat is how it changes with the light and how when it gets darker it actually reflects light more and gets darker so the car looks blacked out at night :cool2::cool:http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/brentman2006/0503081944.jpg

Looks waaaay better than the stockers IMHO. A good sunny picture may bring it out even more.

Not to be an ass but I don't dig that at all. But it's your car. :)

Does this look equally bad, twice as bad, or not as bad to you?

Wheels look cool in the gunmetal grey and those are some nice shots :thumbsup:

Do you have the exact cooler they painted them? I am thinking about doing mine and the color I think would match the Thunder grey on my car well.

Luv - thats tits man. I'm a fan of dark wheels. I think I may just not clean mine until I get around to powdercoating!

Boss - I never liked red V's until I saw yours. If I were you I would get rid of the orange lenses, but that's just me. I know some people prefer the orange to clear or smoked... :ack:

No need to bother.
On a Redline the Orange Side Markers look great.

Sorry jon but when I first read the post I thought it was BigJim :hide:What a douche. You don't know me. If anything, I am a fan of dark wheels. I've owned a number of custom rims and had a set of black and gunmetal rims each on my SHO. What I find so retarded is all this custom dark rim look and you're too lazy to darken the grilles.

Now you are in the black on black club - Here is my car with powder coated rims. This pic is a bit old - I do have all the lights blacked out also.

Just a shade darker than I would prefer but looks great. Very aggressive looking but yet still clean and respectable.

I like.

My rims look like that all the time due to no wash and HP+'s :D

300 for all of them?
Is it more durable than the current finish?

To sandblast and powdercoat, a local shop wanted about $150 a wheel. I'd love to find $300 for four. That sounds wicked cheap.

Agreed . . . I would do it in a sec for $300 but the prices I've been quoted . . . might as well buy a new set of wheels!
