I have always thought black on black would be the way to go, I have been looking at aftermarket wheels however I don't think its withing my budget at the moment and I want to save for some power mods first as well. I have been considering powder coating or even anodizing the factory 19" rims I have as they are growing on me, would be much cheaper? I have done a quick Photoshop below that give me a bit of an idea how it will look, however I am interested if any others out there have changed the colour of the factory wheels and have some real photos? even better if there on a Black G6ET. whats your opinions? experiences? etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did want to go that way, try plastidip first - can always go back if/when you decide it looks pox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rimz painted on a black car will look a bit nasty. The thing looks really nice as it sits now buddy..... Black on black is getting dated now anyway. Just my 2c's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a simple tune will do you. my2c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
