That's one of the downsides to black wheels, if the tires don't have plenty of Armor All on them they look bad.

Ditto ... if you're going with an all-black look, then everything needs to be black ..

I got them done at a place called Pyramid Powder Coating in Sun Valley. They do GREAT work it's kind of a ghetto place but their prices are very cheap and they get the job done. I paid $240 ($60 a rim) to get all 4 rims powder coated Hi-Glossy Black. I didn't have to strip out the paint before because it was alloy. If they have to strip out the paint for your rims then its going to cost a lot more $100 a rim. You can trust them I had my M5 rims powder coated there as well it turned out amazing.

To tell you the truth bro looks sick. I got eyelids makes the car look more aggressive. The grille is really nice I think. A blacked out z is not emo or goth maybe a station wagon or a hearse lol. Looks good!

+2 on the grill and painting the door handles/emblems.

I have a black one too. But with black rims I'd go 19" since the color makes them look smaller.

Never been a fan of black wheels without some kind of contrast, like a silver lip.

Black everything out! Get the grill, door handles, all the rear lights completely blacked and paint the inside of your headlights. As for the powder-coated stockers, I love 'em. You'd be hard-pressed to find another production wheel as attractive as this model. I like the all black rim. A silver lip on a black wheel makes the rim look tiny. Definitely drop the car half an inch at least and get some spacers to flush the wheels.

Overall I'm likin' the direction. I appreciate the minimalistic approach and your lack of ricey upgrades. I don't typically like eyelids, but black lids on a black ride are very subtle.
