Sounds weird and completely cheap, but has anyone done it? If so, how does it look? Would it hold up to heat and dust?

I like these rims:

Great look and price, I just dont want a red stripe on my PW/B blacked out wheels look.

Any help is appreciated.

 

I have seen powder coated black and they look real nice. Way better option than spray painting.

 

Yep powder coat is the way to go.

 

Sprayed my s-lites. There were imperfections but didn't notice them when they were on the car. I decided to spray my R90's still with some imperfections which are not really noticeable with flat black. I used the duplicolor wheel paint which has a slight metallic sheen after sanding and a coat of primer. No problems with durability with the s-lites so far.

 

very nice.

do you have pictures?

 

Same thing I did. I used this concept on 3 diffrent wheels. Here is a link of my car where you can see a detail picture of one wheel.

Also rattle canned ours, even left the tires mounted. Did it two years ago, still looks great.

 

Just be sure to sand and prep prep and dont for PREP, wet sending between coats etc, should come out fine!

i did my ASA AR1s in flat black. it came out with imperections that can't be seen 2 feet away but i know they're there and its bugging the hell out of me. i plan powdercoat them eventually. other than that they make my MINI look mean!
