My newly powder coated rims

Pretty fired up about my newly powder coated coupe rims that are about to have brand new tires mounted to them and put back on. Color is semi-gloss black. Looks a bit gun metal gray in the pic. It cost $385 total for those that are curious. Cheapest price I could find out of a local joint. I'll put up some more pics once they are back on in a few days!

Probably can't powder coat them, but thought about painting them the same color. Debated over it with the woman and lost, only because I was indifferent. Seems to pop a little more with silver centers and chrome lugs.

Great price! I thought $385 was a tad high, but they do great work and turn them around quick.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Post up some pics in the daylight, the garage is too dark to get a feel for how they really look on the car. My guess is they're gorgeous, great job!!
