Ok since i got my rims i have blacked out the windows and all the lights and thinking of black rims. I dont wanna sell mine really bc I love the style and width of these but might turn em black. If i do, should i powder coat or have painted? Ive never messed with changing rim color before. Also would all black be it or leave a fat polished lip? Anyone got pictures of these black or partially black or can photoshop some (i suck at it)??? Let me know what you think!!

 

I voted leave 'em.....but if u do change them, keep a polished lip...

 

polished lip with powdercoated black center TTII's are my affordable dream wheel lol...i'd do it.

TTMs are very similar.

 

I vote powder coated black with the polished lip, that is what I am planning for mine.

 

im a fan of black. but those actually look great on your car, i wouldnt paint/change them.

 

Taken from nineballs fquick. Just powdercoat the centers like so, and walla sexiest rims ever.

 

I say powdercoat them gloss black and then leave the lips polished.......

 

I voted leave em' but if you do decide to paint em , have a polished lip! Plain black wheels look like IMO

 

what about painting them gunmetal grey? that would look pretty sick as well

 

I think the black with NBM will just clash. But a gunmetal or silver color on the spokes, Blackbird style, would really set it off.

 

Gunmetal w/ the polished lip if you do it, but I like them now, they contrast nicely with your car.

 

If you paint 'em black, I'd do a satin black, instead of a gloss, with the polished rim and centers. However, on a NBM car, like mine, I think gray centers would look better. Gunmetal or Charcoal gloss w/ polished rim and centers would be the best. This might give you an idea. Although mine are 200S Classics, they're close enough to TT2's for comparison. I did a P'shop on 'em a while back to see what they'd look like with black spokes. Here you go:

 

Wow animal, i actually like the way those look black even better! either way looks great!

As for the guy who posted this. Powder coat the spokes like nineballs or erikthegoalie's car(black)...then trade me rims

 

Black w/ polished lip!!!

 

Gunmetal centers w polished lip.

AnimalSS...those rims are awesome

 

not to jack this thread but I made a thread similar and not getting any responses. My 95 z28 is polo green. I am in the exact same situation(polished,gunmetal, or black). what do you guys think?


and I say black on a NBM car. a friend of mine has black ss ten spokes and it looks mean as hell.

 

I voted for the black spokes and polished lip. Did it to my TTIIs last winter and love it.

 

mine are powder coated, love the way they look

i so go for it

 

Cool, several responses and some pics. I know i dont want to do grey bc every detail on the car is black now other than the paint. I like the black spokes and polished everything else too now. Ill never own another set of polished rims, they are too much damn hassle, ill be glad to have them black lol.

 

Black centers polished lips.
