like it a lot! I've seen these wheels black before, didn't like them too much, but yours came out great! I think it was leaving the emblems chrome that made them nice. I have the same ones and will probably be doing this soon with plasti-dip, that way I can remove if I don't like.

How much did powder coating run you?

wheels were 400, they did the inside (where the wheel weights go) and the inside tubs (where the TPMS mounts) they did it this way so it would never have an area to start chiping or flaking. there garunteed for life. there satin black, they told me the gloss black will fade fast and the matte finish will leave me wanting more but the satin has a light glossy finish that wont wear or fade. The center caps are black with chrome stars, and the black matches the satin perfectly, I got those on ebay.
