some lowenharts come painted black so you wont have to worry about imperfections in having a paint shop do your rims of choice.

I just send you some pictures. Also, my friend is getting the 20" Brabus VI-2 BLACK w/ Chrome lip, I will have him to forward you the picture later (I've seen it in person, awsome - 20".......)

I wouldnt trust any shop to paint the wheels. Some of these wheels have special finishes and it is not easy to get a nice coat(s) of paint on it.

If you want nice wheels with custom paint finish, you gotta get HREs.

one of my customers has a slightly used set of Zauber Gettin 20" with tires in black (done in Japan at factory, not aftermarket) for sale of a 03 SL55, if you are interested please let me know.

I have HREs on my Z06 and the finish is incredible. They're 545Rs, charcoal centers, polished/cleared lip, 18x10/19x12:








I think that any of the custom wheel shops can do a good, black painted or powdercoated wheel... HRE, Fikse, Kinesis, etc.
