Powder coated 10 spoke SS wheels I got my stock wheels powder coated gloss black by ***NOT-A-SPONSOR.com.org.gov.net***, and they did a real good job. The center caps turned out decent - I prepped them with a 3M paint prep block from Auto Zone and some 100 grit sand paper, put 3 coats of Rustoleum gloss black on them, and got some decals from a vinyl sticker shop.
I may put some black lug nuts on and paint or powder coat the calipers and I don't use Armor All on my tires.

Thanks guys. The tires probably look better with the shine on them, but I had a couple bad experiences on an old car where the Armor All got onto the tire tread and made my tires a little slippery for a while, and since then I have not used any.
Sommer86 - that is a sick car. I saw her on another thread and your pictures along with some from a couple other cars convinced me to get my wheels powder coated. Those center caps are pretty sweet. Personally, I like more of the stock look with the Chevy symbol, but those are definitely nice.

That is a cool logo and with the fender badges removed she looks good with the SS on the centercaps.

Thanks man. I just realized those centercaps are flat, which looks cool. Sanding around the center and in the 5 indentations of the factory centercaps was a real PITA.
i like it but use some tire shine or something
