Had my wheels powdercoated satin black :)
They orginaly were black in the middle with a polished lip. I hated keeping these things polished all the time and some clearcoat was coming off. So I went with a cheap fix. I had them powdercoated satin black and I love the new look. I think a black roof and headlights will set it off.

Actually looks pretty good, how much did you pay per wheel?
I've been looking into doing this for my set of iForged but haven't found what I would consider a reasonable deal, with most quotes being in the neighborhood of $200 per wheel. Then again they are multi-piece as well. I'll probably end up posting a inquiry thread in the SW regional forum.

Wow thanks guys! Yes a black roof with be my next purchase. Im doing simple but tasteful mods right now. I had them powdercoated by a guy here in town who usualy does farm gates and railings. He charged me about $60 a wheel. I think it was very very cheap but he done an awesome job. I love these wheels and I think everyone should do this if they are thinkin of doing it. My wheels are RPM 505's. They are "ok". Nothing like a set of Volks or Works, no way at all. But they are pretty good for the price. Here is a before and after pic:
(The before pic is when my car was really clean and a nice place, the after pic was when it was dirty and just in my driveway)
