should I powder coat my stock rims black?
 

Does anybody know how this looks or have they done it before?

I have a white 2007 with the stock 18s and I think that this could look really good.

black stockers have been done before. try searching.

It will look good if your a fan of black wheels.

they'll look nice as long as you lower the car.

do it.

keep it shiny stock or your car will look cheaper.. because technically that really is a cheap mod

save money for something more expensive (springs, rims)

cheap? naa try sexyy. we dont all have money

^Sorry but i don't think Powdercoating the stock wheels black is sexy...it is different...but not sexy.

I think they look good on a White or Yellow like mine.

should look good on a white 8. Make sure to get new springs though

I am considering buying the black rpf enkies for my Ti gray. I think that would look sick

Stop lieing to yourself expo. :)

Well uhmm.. to each his own. if you feel it will look *sexy* then do it.

but there are people who feel (deep inside themselves) that it looks cheap.

don't get me wrong. Black rims do look good, but painting *stock* rims is different.

bystanders will appreciate it but people who know they are stock will not always think so.

i also can't afford high-end forged $$$ rims but i'd rather stay with the stock look than paint it.

Agree with superdon on bystanders v. people who know.

I do think black rims look great on a white 8 but they cant be stock rims imo. I would save up for something different. But hey, if thats what you want than go for it. I'm sure there are things I'm doing to my 8 not everyone would agree with.

you did a great job on those wheels...

imo black stock wheels only look good on a white rx8....so do it...

i was planning on powder coating my stock wheels also. i mentioned it on another thread. i have the brilliant black color. i was plannning or thinking some type of bronze/gold for a powder coat. i think it would look SEXY!. but you know eveyone one has ther own opinion. "one mans treasure is another mans trash"

Looks ok on a blalck car, not sure on a white, I would go with white powder coating maybe?

^Now that is sick! I feel it only looks good on a black car. Looks good man.

they shoulda put your car on the new NIGHTRIDER.....or that should be your cars name.....looks fn sweet dude....good job.....

Yes.

g4crx, looks good! I think some blk lugs would make it look better though.

i LIKE the stock rims. i even like them better than my favorite aftermarkets (enkei rpf-1s) but that still doesnt mean im not going to paint them. just because i like the style doesnt mean i like the color.

the thing about personalizing cars is its.. "personal." do makes you happy. even if thats painting your calipers hot pink.

i did it because it was cost effective until the tires wore out, or i found a good deal on some new wheels.
