Exclamation Post your GT500 w Black Wheels!

Trying to decide whether to save up cash for a while after my exhaust for a new set of black wheels, or have my stock ones powder coated black.

Post your Black wheels!
And if someone could photoshot my car with black color I would appreciate it.
Pic below

Thanks!

I kept my stockers as I actually like them and I have approx 150 coats of polish and wax on them which means 150 hours of labour so no way I am letting them go lol

Can you get powder coat in black and have the lips stay chrome or do they have to coat the whole wheel?

you do know that pretty much useless effort..as soon as you hit them with a decent wheel cleaner it is going to pretty much strip most of it off..having that many layers does nothing more then having 2 or 3 layers. also the layers dont stay around for ever depending on what kind of wax you use especially on wheels may only last a couple of weeks.

I'm a big fan of the "murdered out" look.
I know I want black... just not sure what they look like with these wheels in particular.

And yeah man your car looks familiar too lol!
You have good taste my man.
