Just picked up some stock 10 spokes caus they were cheaper then buying tires for my stupid snowflakes.

Basically i know i want black rims so my options are

Black with a stock lip
Black on the whole thing
Black just on the spokes
I really want black chrome but i dont think you can powercoat black chrome? (if they can let me know)..
Just leave them stock

and if i do black then Gloss or Flat?

if you could post pics that would be amazing!
BTW my car is in my sig.

Thanks in advance!!

I spray canned my stocker 5 spokes with gloss black all over. It was just too hard to tape a straight lip. I used to not like them, bu they have grown on me.

Just Spokes


All Black



FWIW I got more compliments with the "spoke only" style.

The spokes only looks good, but on that vert up there-all black goes better.

i dont know if most people with just the spokes painted are doing it themselves, but when i went to get mine powder coated they wouldnt do just the spokes.

I think it would look good if you did the just spokes, but also painted the inside of the wheel black. Just a thought.

ok well i think im gonna start with just the spokes and go from there...i can always add more paint in different places..

but how should i prep it? sanding? primer..etc....
