Painted/ Powdercoated oem wheels

Does anyone have any pics of their painted or powder coated 3g oem rims? My body shop is pretty slow and I was thinking of painting my rims black, or picking up either A-Spec or Type S from my aftermarket rims supplier (cost me $130 each) and painting them.

yeah $130. I have a wholesale acct with Keystone, which sells aftermarket collision parts to my shop. If i order in a slow month, I won't have to pay the core charge per rim

RonJonTL757's powdercoated gloss black stockies:



I've seen them in person and I love em. I was going to have mine done but I found my Gunmetal A-Specs and got those instead.

My gunmetal A-Spec's (original paint)...

They are aftermarket new from a collision center wholesaler. Might just paint my stockers today- we are slow- just not sure if what to paint them.

makes me want to black out my tails and side markers and go black with rims on my nbp.. but if i do that, i might as well get blacked housing headlights done with better projectors lenses and angel eyes..
hmm.
