For primer, that don't look too bad

Just ordered a staggered set of 5Zigen FN01r-C 18". I"ll be powder caoting it satin balck as soon as I get them. Maybe I'll post some pix after install.

That looks good. They didn't paint over the fake rivets. What's the name of the shop?

I was thinking about getting my wheels painted black but i figured maybe this whole black wheel thing is just a phase and might be phased out soon. What do you guys think? Is it just a trend right now or will it stay like how chrome and silver do.

JPsZ, what size, width, and offset are those Enkei rims? Just the concaved ones... the concaved ones look reallly good. Do they work with the front wheels? Very nice powdercoating.

doubt u can fit the rear ones on the front, size is 18x9.5 +15mm offset. I know how you feel, I'm not too wild bout the front wheels either, but I like it cause it highlights the "staggered" look and makes the concaveness of the rear stand out more, otherwise it'd just look like 4 normal rims.

At first... YES, but it is no where near as durable as powder coating. I only sprayed mine because they are solely track wheels and I got tired of the original silver color looking like **** because of the rubber and dust getting on them
