I've got a torch red '02 z. I'd really like to have my wheels powder coated or buy another set that is powder coated all black. Has anybody seen these anywhere, or know where I can get mine done? another question, how about the center caps and lug nuts? where do you get those in black? any pictures would really be great.
Thanks,

Mine will be done tomorrow.

Ended up using a hammered black which is textured.

My Rubicon wheels are done the same way and I have had nothing but compliments and offers to buy the wheels.

Wah

I have a set of 18x10.5s that were professionally painted with automotive-grade paint. The lip edge has been machined so the wheel doesn't "disappear" in the tire. The center caps have been painted black to match. I use OE GM black lug nuts for Buick GN. They have 315/30/18 Pirelli PZero Corsa. Let me know if you are interested.

Keeping an eye on this for more pics. What does it cost to have 4 rims powdercoated?

Depends on the wheels, color, and going rates in your area. Around my area, Black rims would run close to $100/pc.

There are a few local guys around here....most places charge $50 a wheel

whatever you do don't buy the junky "Z06 motorsports" they are HEAAVVVYYY and you will sacrifice A LOT of performance with those wheels.

I had them on my car for about 2 months and liked how they looked but damn if my car wasn't slower. I put the stock wheels back on and the car felt so much more nimble and "quick". The acceleration, braking, and steering all changed when I went back to my stock wheels! Just some food for thought!

Mine aren't powdercoated. Just $10 in spray paint.

Thats a little more like it! I personally am looking at the black rims with the chrome ring around the outside to seperate the rim from the tire.

I hated that look.

Here is a side shot of my car.
