All that matters is if you like it.....if so do it and enjoy it. I really don't care for black rims.....keep in mind it's very hard to go back!?!?!

I actually have been thinking of getting some 18" touring wheels and powdercoating them black since I can get it done for free and see how they turn out.

I think if they are your wheels, you can paint them any color that you please.

I have seen those ones there I think you had a set of powdercoated ones out a month or 2 ago.

I am visiting you guys tomorrow


My work powdercoats millions of parts a year so I have the connection to get it done for free.

350z brah love the car i mean i know theyre stock rims but that whole combo looks tight. the spoiler is one of the few i like and the gloss black wheels are nice. keep it up man thats what mines gettin ready to look like minus the spoiler and droppin the hell outta it.
