Default Billet Specialties street lites powdercoated black....w/pics
Contemplated idea for over 6 months, finally i said the hell with it and got them done. I think they turned out very nice. I am yet to see anyone else powder coat a pair of street lites black. I will have more pictures once the car is done in a few months, but for know you can kinda get the idea.

They do look sick. But in my opinion I think you should have left the lips polished. Just my .02 though.

Nice job man!

that looks badass. I am biased though. I love black wheels on a black car.

looks killer

I'm kicking around doing something with mine since these are becoming so popular. I don't like having the same stuff as the next guy.

Nice job man!
I agree, I thought about eventually buying a set of those and powdercoating the spokes black. Those do look good on a black car, the whole 'murdered out' thing looks great.

I have seen cars that it looks good on, and cars that DONT. For a 15 inch wheel on a drag car is looks like ***. On a street car with 17's or bigger is more appropriate, and easier to pull off.

Rear tire size is 28X10.5 ET DRAG.

The whole "black with a polished lip" thing has been done to death and looks gay as aids anyway. All black is where its at.
