WOW! I don't know what I think yet? Those are good looking wheels to coat ALL black! Maybe its just me but an all black wheel reminds me of a donut, and is not very attractive. Did you powdercoat them of just paint them? Maybe you can still get a polished lip out of it?

Uhhh yeah thats why it says powder coat. They are semi-gloss powder coated then clear coated. All black is bad ***, everything on the car is black already. Why not do something different and not leave a lip?? Also donuts arent glossy, just fyi...

to be honest, i saw the first pic and was like...wtf...no...

then saw the rest of your car...and it goes with your car SO well! congrats on being different. if your car was any different, without the blackouts or if those wheels were on another car...i'd be like porksoda, and be like NO...but actually i'm kinda diggin it!

looking good man!

Looks really good. Way to not just blend in and do what everyone else is.

My Smoothie II's are getting the spokes powdercoated black in a couple weeks.

Yea props for being different but not exactly my style.

And obviously donuts aren't glossy I was just stating all black wheels remind me of them. About the powdercoat I was just asking because I didn't know they made semi-gloss powdercoat so I didn't know why they had to be cleared. I just figured paint when I read that they were cleared. You learn something new everyday!

Theres no contrast. I would have painted the spokes black or NBM, left the lips and center caps polished.

I think it looks bad ***, the wheels still look 11" in person, everything is blacked out and soon as the tips are gone its gonna really be sick! To everyone that gave me props thanks, to everyone that hated, its my car and i think its sweet. Try to be different sometime HAHAHA
