Bought My Rims But...
Sunday, July 10, 2005 4:51 AM
They are in silver. Thats the OK news. The good news is instead of $800 somethign, I got them for $400 flat with shipping and isurance. More OK news is that I wanted black but cant find them unless I wait and pay $800 so i talked to a guy about powder coating them to match what i additionally wanted. Good news is $140 to strip, blast, and coat all 4 rims. I was pretty excited, so all in all Im spent $540 instead of the 8** something and getting the same thing, Im pretty happy about that. Anyway onto the rims and onto the car.

Which the silver or the black? If you say silver, thats what i have been hearing but i have silver stock ones now. and black will look good because of my windows tinted, and black tails. So either way i think it will look good. i have had a lot of good and bads from people already.

If you click the thumbnail of the black rim, then you can see that the black ones have a polished lip and i plan on getting them powder coated to the exzact same look as the black ones down to every detail.

The thing is they both are what i wanted. I wanted z\silver first but then wanted black. I like the black since i have black tails, and black tinted windows. Plus i think the chrome lip will set it off and also having the machined face will set off the black. I am getting the rims soon but i may try them first before i powder coat them. If i powder coat them then i get the same rims that i originally wanted, just a lot cheaper.

i think the powder coating would set the wheels off. I would go ahead and do it. Take a look...
