I used to think that black wheels were dumb, but over the last year or so, I have really seen some nice cars with the black wheel/tire packages executed really well! Here is an example of a car that I would DEF install black wheels on!! LOL

For some reason I just LOVE this damn thing!

 

to each his own. i'm still not ready to go to the dark side.

however it would be very boring if everyone liked the same thing.

long live chrome and high polish

Well said man, I can respect that!! I'm a chrome man myself

But different strokes for different folks makes this world interesting!!! LOL

 

wow, I really like how those look. I'm comtemplating powdercoating my rims black as well. However, I can't seem to find anyone that will disassemble the wheel. It is a two piece, so theoretically I could do it myself, but the only problem that I have is finding out the torque specs. I called Makinen (US distributor for Volks), but they said that Rays Wheels won't give out the torque specs for fear of legal issues.

But one powder coat shop that I had called said that if I find out what size torx/hex bolt it is, there are standardized torque values, could anyone verify that for me? Anyways, here's my photoshop of what it would look like....
