Default Black CCW'S?

I have some 505a ccw's and I have been thinking about getting the centers painted or powdercoated ( which ever is better and will last longer) black. Well I need your opinions and if someone could please photoshop the pic below of my car. Thanks and I know it needs to be lowered.

you don't want to mess up a set of rims like that.

plus pewter doesn't look too good with black.

Powder coated is the best way to go for long lasting & chip resistant. I personally think it'll look sick if you add some other subtle black accents to tie them in.

And for the record, pweter/black look very nice when done right.

I'd do the CETA mod in high-gloss, black out your windows, and black chrome your CCW's. It'd be a pretty hot combination.

I love that black chrome. What wheels are those on the camaro CCW? I wanted that but could not afford CCW's

Detoxx03 you might want to search for AR Rebels. There is a guy on here that has the black ones with machined lip that is decent sized on a pewter trans am. It will give some idea of what it'll look like.

That finish was done by Helios Coatings if I'm not mistaken...a little bit different than chrome.

I like the black chrome. I had my entire undercarriage done in Black Chrome so I am a big fan of the look and durability of Powdercoating.
