Default Gauging interest in stock wheels powdercoated matte black.

I have an extra set of Camaro 5 point stockers and I do powdercoating in my garage. I was going to sell these but thought it might be cool to powdercoat them. Anyone else done this before? I think they'll look awesome.

They look great, I've done several sets for people in town. I'm just not sure if anyone will be interested in a stock set.

don't do flat black, it will just look like a spare tire wheel. Gloss black is better.

Gloss black or gunmetal but leave the edge of the lip silver like I did on my wheels. Solid black makes the rim and tire blend too much giving it the spare tire look imo.

Thanks! I knew someone out there had to have done this before. I'll look around for better colors!
Are yours painted or powdercoated?
