Just wondering if anyone has attempted this. I really want black rims, and I'm thinking of just getting my S-winders powdercoated. Thoughts?

 

Bump for this as Ive been curious as well

 

I have been wondering about this as well...

 

Ive been thinking of getting mine powdercoated flat black.

 

Are you talking about these? This is second to-do mod after delivery.

 

Im talking about the s-winders. Those are the s-lights

 

Silly rabbit, trix are for kids..... how about a pic? Oh, powder coat would be the same result, VERY NICE>>>>>.
Personally, I don't care for the s-winders....

 

My car actually will be here in 2 weeks. Still on the ship Powdercoating will be the first thing I do. I haven't seen any s-winders black yet. I know someone on here has them. Show yourself!!
These..

 

How well do powdercoated wheels hold up?

Several years ago I had chrome wheels which I had ordered from TireRack, and within 2 years the chrome was peeling off in a few spots. I have considered powdercoating wheels before, but I worry that it will give the same result.

 

From what I have seen on other forums, powdercoating is the way to go!

 

BUMP! I can't believe that noone on NAM has their s-winders powder coated

Anyone with a pic?

 

Maybe I'm old, but I don't understand what the attraction is to black wheels. It can't be to hide brake dust. Can someone tell me why this is the new trend? I suppose it's the same as why one prefers vanilla to chocolate, but I wanted to ask anyway.

 

My reason is because my MINI will be LB/B and I want it to match my roof/mirror caps/grille

 

S-winders are fugly no matter what color they are. I can't wait to replace mine.
