wow 
! they look amazing 
! i've never thought about it. i was trying to get a set of 19" in black but don't know what to do w/my 18". don't want to sell them dirt cheap but don't have place to store them. now you've solved my biggest problem 
! i'm just wondering if mine will look good with the same color. i have steel gray and six spoke instead of five. mine look the same as big50's. did you simply take them to any body shop and have them paint them? how about the hubcaps? i guess i have to buy a new set if i want to keep the "star" silver, right?

the center caps don't get any paint, and I have a collection of 7 sets to flip and switch through, haha.....
Keep those wheels! you never know!!! Just make a glass coffee table with them until you figure out what to do with them

it was very easy: I called a local powder coating company, the guy came to PICK my wheels up! That was impressive.......then he took them to some chemical people to have them chemically stripped, then he blasted them with some sand, and then powder coated them in a satin finish.....

but i guess it should be easier than what it sounds as i don't have to do it .so you just order a bunch of caps online? ebay
?i can't use them as coffee table if i paint them in black

Did you ever considering blacking everythng out? Definitely tints and smoke out the tailights other than that car looks clean. Sorry for the poor quality photo.

I'm usually not a big fan of all-blacked-out cars, but THIS baby is just something else.... so hot.... looks like a Black Diamond. I've either seen this car, or one just like it on the road, and talk about ROAD PRESENCE!

it'll be cool to have the exhaust painted black since you have the quad lights chrome trims painted and change the license frame to black as well. probably add one of those smoke/tint license plate covers and add a light black tint on the windshield . btw, i hope you are running some detailing companies or it'll be either tiring or costly to have your car clean every week .
