I;ve never seen the stock wheels done in flat black. Actually looks pretty cool! Much better than the powdercoated ones.

 

the powdercoated ones are done with clearcoat. i asked a shop that does powdercoating, if they can do a flat black with clearcoat, but it will be glossy. the glossiness is there to help keep the paint on and from chipping.

- they would look better if they could powder coat flat black, which I THINK they should be able to no?

Exactly the look I was going for. Now I'm going to put Spoon stickers all over my car.

 

My Suzuka with stock wheels spray painted black. I need to finish up the front center caps and redo the wheels again though.

 

was that at E-town ???

 

Yeah, from Saturday for Honda Day.

Were you there??
