I was thinking of painting or powdercoating my stock 10 spokes and polishing the lip. Anybody have any experience w/ this? Pics maybe? Thanks

Saw some awhile back. Do a search. You should do it, they look VERY hot :)

thanks, those look good Juan....

do you know if its possible to get the wheels painted like an anthracite color or something, I'm not sure I'd want to go w/ black

yeah thats the link I was looking for!

The people that painted my wheels can use any color you want. I'm sure that whoever you choose to do the work would be able to do the same. I almost went with the gunmetal gray, but changed my mind at the last minute. Anthracite and a polished lip would look hot.

i really don't know..i went to a rather large Powder coating Co. here in San Diego and they had TONS of colors...like 10 diff greys...w/ mettallic...w/o metallic...on and on... i got a dark "charcoal" the guy called it... w/ no metallic and a clear over it... im just hoping it looks like how it did on the sample paper..hehe...

damn, i bet all that made for a hard decision... the charcoal should look good w/ the blue though.... id kinda like to get my wheels the same color as the O.Z. Superleggeras (err however you spell it)... are you gonna have a polished lip?

nope...no polished lip...decided against it after seeing a few... and yea..i was going for the color that my brothers rims (OZ Superahwhatever) have...but i wanted it darker then them...they were a bit light... so, hopefully it turns out good..
