I'm thinking about getting new wheels for the RC. I actually like the stock wheels, but don't love them. I think matte black wheels would look good, but would like to see some on this car with ultra white before making the purchase. Can't find hardly any pics of this online. Anyone who got matte black wheels for their UW RC 350 F Sport, please post some pics. Thanks!!

Mine aren't matte black but hope this helps.

Ok, that's interesting. Are they dipped or painted or .....?

Im pretty sure they were powder coated. They came from the dealership like that. They did it to my fiances RC also.

Thanks for posting on this. This is a great post to compare to the powder-coated stock wheels that Walkedu posted. I'm actually liking the stock wheels in black better. Those 20" Niche Misano's look pretty good, but it seems like the car needs to be lowered to make it look right. Whereas the stock wheels look just right with the ride height. My guess is if I dropped the car and put those 20" Niche's on, that setup would look the best, but I don't want to lower the car.

Why not lower? Stock looks like a 4x4 coupe

Look very nice I hope they make supercharge for RC350 later. I think white car also look nice with silver rims.

why not just get an RCF?!

RCF $65k used RC 350 about $42k.

What's the cost of a supercharger, exhaust system (full system and headers), air box, tune, thermostat, injectors, brakes, etc?? And then factor in that the 3.5 litre engine, drivetrain and transmission aren't suited to big power upgrades anyway...

Better off getting a 2014 Corvette I'd reckon!

I decided to try Plasti-dip on the wheels after seeing the black stock wheels of walkedu. I figured that it's completely reversible and low investment cost, so I thought I'd give it a try. I really like how it looks. I put 5 coats of matte black, and it looks really clean. I was surprised at the quality of the finish. Anyway, I'll see how good the durability is on this. When I get sick of it, I can just peel if off! So funny.
