Hey all... Just thought i would post up some pics of my rims... I was hoping to have all 4 for tomorrow's mazda meet in cayuga... but for some reason the powdercoating does not want to stick to one of the spokes on the 4th rim.
here is a couple pics... I cant WAIT to get these on the car... :P

If you are trying to "powdercoat" with a spray-on can, that might be why it isn't sticking as well as you think it should.....

I see a can of spray-paint in that pic... did you spraypaint your rims? O.o
I'd like to see how it looks black on black... the entire car is going to be one huge black... machine! Not my style I don't think but we'll see... I bet you it will look awsome when you detail / wax / polish the shit out of it.... But I think it will look like crap the second it gets a tad bit dirty... the life of owning a black car.... AND black rims heh... Break dust won't show as easily!

I was thinking about getting mine powdercoated as well, but with my car being titanium I don't know if I'd want to go black or gun metal.
My other car has black powdercoated wheels and the car itself is silver. It was kinda cool at first but It's getting a little old now.... |

With my color white, I would probably go gunmetal. The black looks great on that red car above.
