Has anyone painted stock rims black (pics)? High Gloss or Flat Black? Interested in Gunmetal Volks but are they much different then painting stocks black?

 

Nope but I wanna get em painted myself. Lemme know what happens. Thankx

 

here is a gunmetal I just powdercoated. I'll be doing some race wheels for mpowers in satin black next month.

 

yep, pics in sig. black chrome =)

 

damn that blackx3 is hot...

 

Very nice! Is this just a variation on the standard chroming process?

 

Yea, its a special dipping process, slightly more expensive than chrome at around ~$800 per set. The dealer had them on another car and I negotiated to have them put on mine when I made my deal, otherwise I probably would have just gone with new rims. I'm glad I did, it's a cheap alternative and will hold me over until I can afford some HRE's

 

I have the pictures at my house....

but here is a picture of the Gunmetal we have powdercoated stock wheels with... and the black...

 

i can do some powdercoating for you, looking at around 200$ a set.

pm me if you are interested =)
