The only time dark wheels look good IMO is with a polished outer lip and generally on dark colored cars. This black wheel fad seems to be catching on, just not with me.

Cost of Powder Coating

How much does powercoating generally cost? also what kind of paint was used to get that glossy? I got a black rx8, thinkin about painting or powder coat if its not too expensive. thanks

If you can drop off the rims you should pay under $300 for a set of four. The shop will have samples of colors to pick from.
