Well, I went all in and got them powder coated in a glossy metallic black - I'm very happy with the results.
Compared to original |

have you ever seen those old home remodeling shows that will buy a house that still has the original kitchen with lime-green cabinets, with bright-orange/white tile, and everyone immediately makes a comment about how hideous they are?
black wheels are the 2010-2020 version of that. but the powder coating job looks smooth.

I kept focusing on wheels like these... Then it occurred to me one day that the stock wheels without the silver machining in all black would basically be very similar. I thought about a dark gun metal, but I figured with my car being red with glossy black accents, that black was the way to go. As for style, black wheels aren’t new. They’ve been around a long time, and I figure they always will. Last edited by pallen; 11-25-2020 at 10:54 PM. |

Except the OZs are lighter than stock. And this car needs all the help it can get. I think the stockers look good in all black, I just would have saved the money and rattle canned them.
