i was gonna get them painted but one of my friends wheels are painted and less then a 6 month its starting to crack...

Powder Coatings resist cracking and peeling and are extremely abrasion, corrosion and chemical resistant. The performance characteristics of powder coating match or exceed the characteristics achieved from conventional solvent-based coatings.

They would look great on my black LX, too!

Are they a true black? They look silver in the first images you posted but that could have been exposure.

They really do look good.

I am a firm believer in keeping the stock equipment on the vehicle whenever possible, great choice.

I will be doing the same thing only in a flat gun metal grey on the wifes 2011 (Twilight Grey) when it eventually arrives late Nov early Dec.

Thanks for posting the pics it looks great & well worth the effort

Wow, the white truck / black wheel contrast is sweet! Makes the tinted windows stand out even more.

Kudos, bro. Nice job with a wheel mod that not only changes the entire dynamic of the look of the vehicle, it does it in a very classy way!
