Matte black rims help.
Matte black rims help.
I have these rims currently on my '06 MCS
I am looking for a similar 7 spoke or 6 spoke design but in matte black or any black but matte is preferred. I have a budget of 150 or so a rim, does anyone have suggestions on reasonably priced rims like this. Throughout my search on the web I can't find anything so I though I would ask here.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

It will require work, and maintainance, but for $10 you can paint them with plasiti-dip and have any color you like for as long as you like.
Just saying...
When buying rims, the lighter the better. Those (both you linked to) are about as heavy as they get.

Matte black Rota Torque's available at Fastmini.net @ $159/ea for 16x7:

They are powdercoated so won't require any maintenance. Plastidip will eventually wear down/chip and will need touch up.

The links work for me, all of them. I don't have a powdercoating shop near me I know that 100%.

The links worked for me, but this was how the first two were presented. Had to copy and paste.

You're sure there are no powder coaters near you? You live out in the sticks? Maybe the next town over has a powder coater.

Yea, no one near me that I can trust with the car. Everyone around here is shady and not professional at all and I just would find it easier to buy some rims throw them on and have them look good. Oh and the links I posted like that because on other forums I'm on I code the links to make them look less cluttered and all.
