Powdercoating my Style 230s

ElliottP · 04-14-2009, 01:59 AM

I'm ever so slightly thinking about the above procedure. Has anyone done it to some 230s, or other stock wheels?

I already have black on black with black grills and I thought this might help complete the look. My winter wheels are Breyton Race GTS 18 in black.

Just a thought, what do you all think?

I bet that would look great. I'd have to say the 230's look awesome on the 335.

I would leave your rims the color they are and get new rims if you plan on going for the black look.

Agree, Black on Black is

black cars are already missing details of the car, if you have black wheels/tints than your car has no details.

Wonder when they'll come up with black light bulbs to complete the look?
