So I got these rims for my Z. I'm thinking of getting the center piece powder coated. The rim is a 2-piece, so I can remove the middle piece without a hassle.

Just need some opinions.What do you think would look best for current setup? Thanks.

Current

Or Black

I go with the black. Its a tough call for me in a small way - I hate any kind of gloss with wheels, but it would probably look really nice on your car with the gloss of the lip and the skirts.

I haven't seen you around for a while...where you been?

Yeah, I would keep it the same. I don't think it be worth the money and time to get that done.

Instead of painting why not get a good tint job?

Yeah, I want to get 35% around. But here in IL, no front tint allowed. If get caught in Chicago, the fine is $250 ...

Busybadger,

I'm been busy lately, but now i'm back.

Thanks guys for the compliments.

I'll probably just leave them they way they are for now.

I voted for black but I'm partial to gunmetal. Definitely go gunmetal if you do it! That would look so sick on that car.
