Got some 16s on for the winter, and would love to have them either painted black, or powder coated black. Anyone have any ideas on this? Price? I may drive a CTS, but they are only my winter rims so I dont want to spend a fortune on something thats only on a few months out of the year. Has anyone done this? I think there is some primer and paint you can use pretty cheap, but I dont know if it will stick?? Let me have it guys, BRING ON THE WISDOM!!!!!!!:bomb:

Powder coat, and the Lotus board has gone over this topic, so you might get some pointers there:

As long as their not the polished ones, you should be OK. Just be sure to clean'm good, possibly with steel wool?? before you prime.

If I'm mistaken, I'm sure someone will let you know.
