The black in the middle looked kind of nice. I won't lie. But your rims look great which ever color you choose

The new wheel color looks sharp! Very stealthy against the black!

Thank you... I am really happy with it. Last night i was looking out of my office and they seemed darker than i wanted but once i got another look today in the sun i was cool lol. Took a chance on painting them and it worked out for me in what i was looking for.

I had no prob with the original look... Loved um... Just figured why not powdercoat. If i get tired i can always do something diff. And i agree on lower as mentioned above ^_^
