no doubt, 19's don't really seem that different, have them on my AMG,Originally Posted by ronjavier
Nice wheels! I was thinking about doing the same when I got curb rash on three of my stock wheels. Did some research and decided to upgrade instead with 19" wheels.
good luck!

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?

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.....Originally Posted by BM2BZ

they are stunning, and I have NEVER been a 'black wheels' fan, but these are so nice to my eyes....
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

the Wheels looks awesome. I am about to do that to my car. the Satin looks great. I wonder what Glossy black powder coating looks like.

It looks petty jazzy and stands out. Enjoy your car like most people here are.

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!

Awesome. Perfect balance of black. I may have my wheels done the same way. Thanks.

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

that's one of the main reasons why i don't want to go w/black
. i always admire people with black on black on black, though

many people live in multi-million dollars condo/apt don't have their own garage, just a shared parking structure.

Shared parking structure is all good too. Need that baby covered under something, no sun rays!
