So I used to like chrome and got a great deal on these wheels. But the chrome lip doesn't really go with my black and grey scheme. I want the car to look sinister and to me chrome doesn't. So my winter project is to powdercoat the wheels or paint them but I am looking for advice or recommendations.

What I am thinking now is powdercoat/paint centers matte or satin black, and go with gloss black on the lips.

What do you think?

One other idea was to do that and then do a time attack stripe the same grey as the car.

Here is the car as it sits now:




Also if I go black should I leave the fasteners chrome or paint them black as well.

Thanks!

 

Color match the Lips and itll be a wrap

 

just my opinon but grey might go good with mat black center with gloss black lip and do a yellow pin stripe if you would also paint ur brakes yellow to give it a new look. i did that to my wheels and its very contrasting.

 

any other recommendations? Thanks!

 

Why not a matte black? I can't remember the color type, but it's a shiny flat finish. That in black would look pretty good itself, but because your care is really shiny in those pictures, I think the only way to do it is go full black with everything else with a tint as low as you can get.
