I want to get some dark gunmetal or black wheels for my white GS to give it a better look than the stock silver alloys. I like the black f sport wheels on the newer GS like this but I can’t find them anywhere for sale, checked eBay and mylparts but no luck.

Just dip your stock wheels and add glossifier. Less than $100.

I dipped mine silver. It's a piece of cake.

 

Do dipped wheels survive tire changes well?

 

Those F Sport wheels are sharp in silver,
nice work.

 

I would assume they would survive just fine. The dip is pretty durable. Think of it as a thinner, smoother bed liner. As long as you're not Edward Scissorhands, I think your wheels will be fine during a tire change.

 

The downside to plastidip is because it’s rubbery coating dirt sticks to it easier. I had my stock wheels plastidipped black for 1.5 years until I finally got a set powder coated gloss black. They are super durable key to having it last so long is spraying the last few coats on heavy/wet.

It’s a good temporary solution to see what your rims look like a different color, but ultimately powder coat is much better.

 

Too bad you not closer to Cinci OH - Wheel Doctor reconditioned and power coated my wheels to dark gunmetal - he is the ‘plastic surgeon’ of wheels in the Midwest.
