I would love the 35 anniversary SS wheels also, but I don't have a clue to where I'd find them for sale?

Re: Powder-coating rims? I have had a set of ZR1 style wheels powdercoated ( anthracite) <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> and think they look great......not black, but my SS is red <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .........Cost was $40.00 a wheel, and they are definately unique!

Powder-coating rims? I'm thinking about buying a set of un-polished 10-spoke camaro SS rims for my pewter Z28 and get them powder-coated in black. Do you think this will look good, and hwo much would this cost to do?
So far everyone I asked said it would look badass on my car: <img src="http://wmswwf.hypermart.net/camaro/pix/camaro26.jpg" alt=" - " />
