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.

do it.

superdon2

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)

^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.

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.

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?

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.

wow that does look good! i dditn think it would have came out that great looking.. how would you think a gold color would look? and what did it cost you abouts to get them done?
