nice rims, but with that color, it looks like stock '07 rims from far away, so powder coat all the way

I agree, with a gloss black if you are going to powder coat, although I think the Progressives look amazing just as they are now.

Yes, BUT only if you do like metallic gloss black (as others have stated)...just my two cents. LONG LIVE THE PPW!!

If your Z was anythign but PPW i'd say yeah. But i think if you had a darker wheel color, it'd take away from the crispness of the car.

Noooooo!!!! You don't paint Volks. You buy them painted by Rays Engineering or you leave them alone. They look great as they are. Gunmetal is sooooooo played out anyways.

i think a flat blk would look hard, it will look more aggressive.

I change my mind. You should powder coat them gold.

Black would look good. Gold would look better. Silver (leave them alone!) looks the best.
