I personally think that you should go ahead and paint them black, they would look really agressive

I think it depends on what kind of wheels you are powdercoating..I would not do it to an expensive wheel. That just seems like a waste to paint or coat a $1000 wheel. Those wheels on the pic looked kind of like lowenharts. If that is what you are powdercoating my vote is no. I have the same wheels and it would be such a waste. Buy some cheap diablos and coat those!

decided i wasnt going to do it... only for 1 reason. to much of a hassle. i had to take the rims off put the old rims back on go get the powder coated then have to put them back on. not worth it. plus i think it looks good as it is
