Powdercoating my ROH's?

I'm thinking of having my ROH ZS wheels blacked out on the spokes with the rim polished. Yea, or nay?

It would look alright, but I think it would look better on a black car.

Yeah, i like the color of them now! I say save your money for some engine mods. The car looks good now man. A place around me charges a minimum of $250 to do powdercoating! good luck on the decision

I think the 30th ann. TA wheels look badass! Does anyone know where to get them, i would imagine they are hard to come by since the last one i saw was over three years ago! I am sure the General would charge a mess load for them new, if they have any! Has anyone ever seen a third gen with them?

Dark Rims look best on a black car or a light colored car. The graphite would look cool, but not so much on a Maui blue car. You might as well keep them silver.

I agree, I also did a photochop (its at home) of the car above in maroon. Looks really sweet!
