Default opinions...

just curious... i love black wheels especially on a light silver car(like mine) and was wondering what you guys who think about powder coating the titanium package wheels(15 spoke) and changing them to black. i think i'd be very pleased with the outcome but just want to know what you all think about it. thanks in advanced!

Well, we do powder coating at my work and my friend put his rims through the powder coater and baked it on. Came out perfect and he did it 2 years ago and still looks good as ever. So i say go for it. Make sure you degrease the hell out of them first.

I've seen some good looking black wheels that have 5-7 spokes. I think any more looks worse. Also, they have to be at least 19's as a high sidewall looks odd on black wheels. Again, my opinions, so to me, if you're def gonna go black, don't go with the Ti Pkg wheels.

However, I'm sure someone can try to photoshop some on your car if you supply a pic...then make up your mind from that. It's your car, so as long as you're happy!



Those look black, maybe the hyper black VMR offers, but either way, they look pretty badass (even though RS4 reps are played )
