Wheel alterations

As all of my previous cars incl my 200sx I have had as original unmodified I was wondering if instead of spending heaps on different wheels (Kiwanis do look awesome) you can get the original GT86 17" wheels powder coated or baked with matte black.

Would that work? Would if look naff?

Appreciate the advice.

Do a quick search on the forums, there is a post on them somewhere where someone plasti-dipped their stock 17inch rims matt black. It looks pretty good too.

Found it!
