Show me shiny black...

Someone show me a car with gloosy black wheels... every car I find has that dull Spoon-like finish. I've got 80 colors of black powder coat to choose from... I'd like an example to go in with... Thank you to who ever finds one.

(Searching members rides for "black rims" doesn't help)

while we are on the subject of powdercoating rims is it possible to polish the trim and then hyper black the center

I would imagine that if there are 80 different blacks, one of them has to be pretty close. From what I'm told, the lip can be left polished, but you have to get it done before you take them to be coated and get the wheel stripped down to bare metal and have the lip clear powder coated. Then you can get the center done whatever color you want. I have no idea on the cost of 2 tone.

Thanks for the pic Sly...

Bingo... thats it right there... maybe a little more shine and a little blacker. I'm going for 100+% gloss super black (otherwise known as Harley Davidson Black)

Why would anyone want to do that to their sir rims? From far away they'll look like steel rims without the covers.

And thanks to Honda, from far away, they look like EX wheel covers anyway... so what's your point?

They're not going to look like steelies. No steelie will have a glossy look.
