Black Wheels?

[TurboBlue]

Untill i can get some real nice light weight ones, should i just paint my stock wheels black on the inside, as shown?:

i think you should go gunmetal.

I was thinking about doing that to my stockers before I got my rims. I just didn't want to go thru the work.

it looks good, go for it!

I would paint them/powder coat them black like your pictures. Looks really trick like that with the blue color of your car. I would definitely not paint them gunmetal in my opinion.

black wheels look good!

I hate black/gunmetal/dark wheels whatever. So they may be lightweight and such but for real....u can find silver ones that look alot better and are lighter. my .02

I say go for it. I'm getting some gunmetal rims next spring, haven't decided on which ones yet. I think that Sliver, Chrome and polished are nice, but onl work with some color schemes. My .02

I sand blasted mine and did them in gun metal gray and then did clear over them. I think they came out pretty good for stock rims. They are in my sig pic.

 

[HyperGSX]

I say do it. Your car looks incredible in those 2 pics

i like gunmetal rims stock or not stock they always look good, even on an orange car!

Don't paint over your original wheels. There are a bunch of kids that do that are here and all we do is make fun of them.

Why?

They sell wheel paint, and if you do it "right" it looks fine. I'm going to do that to my stock wheels, even though I only use them at the track.

oh if i do it, they're getting poweder coated with a coat or 2 of clear over them, not just some driveway spray paint sh!t
