Talking Bat's Powdercoated Stock Wheels, Damn I Love Gunmetal!(PICS)

Got my stock wheels powdercoated, and I must say it made such a big difference going from bling! bling! polished finished, to my trademark darkgunmetal finish. Gotta thank Scott from VRT Racing for getting these done in 2 days! The finish has a clearcoat as well . My stealth them is taking shape now with my powdercoated wheels,tint,Overlays and lowering spring caps. Next up, stripes . Enjoy!

I liked the way the fuel filler door and emblem accented the original polish on the rims. Unless you match the door and emblem w/ the powdercoat than I'll have to vote for the polished.

vipers were never my cup of tea, but it looks better with the GM rims for sure. Should probrably paint the Gas Cap/Cover to match the rims if you're going for a stealth/dark look.

I have spring caps which dropped it about .5" Not sure if I'll go any lower. If I do, I'll probably go with the KW coilover Variant 2.

Good call, those chromies were overstated.

This look is more easy on the eyes, letting you enjoy the lines of the car.
