Black RS Wheels?

Tried a search and found nothing. Anyone have any pics of a Third Gen with Black RS Wheels? Im considering having my stockers powder coated black and wanted to see what they would look like.

thanks

Not sure if these are what your looking for but this is what i got. I painted them black and put a clear coat on them and really like how they look.

Re: Black RS Wheels?

IMO, solid black wheels just look like steel spare wheels. I like black wheels when the outer lip is left polished or a color stripe there, at least.

Re: Black RS Wheels?

I agree about having a polished lip to break up the black from the rim and the tire. think thats the way im going.
