i don't mean to burst your bubble but i checked into powdercoating just the faces of wheels and you'll be hard pressed to find a shop that will do it. i called 4 shops here in AZ and nobody could confidently say they could effectively tape off the lip and only powdercoat the face 100%.

If anyting, just have them painted and you'll be good to go.

With that in mind... what color paint did you want them done in??

here you go. making them actually BLACK would really hide the detail of the wheels so i tinted them as dark as possible without making them invisible.



To get an idea of what black rims look like, check out this search.

are they one piece or multi piece wheels? If they are multi piece you can have them taken apart and just powdercoat the centers. But I agree they look better the way they are

good point Rich. that's one of the downfalls of the Work wheels I bought - the centers can't be taken apart separately from the barrel. so - no powdercoat....
