Default black wheels

Ok, got the car (love it) Black on black base 3LT auto with silver wheels.

Now wishing for black wheels.

What is available out there that will work with the stock tires .

Or has anyone ever powdercoated painted wheels.

I'm in central Florida

Find a good body shop that can paint and put on gloss black Dupont Imron...beautiful gloss and tougher than powdercoat...Invented by Dupont for tractor trailer rims and then the modders found out about how tough and good looking it was...

Use Plasti-dip in case you decide you want to change back.

Post a WTB in the C7 Parts for sale/wanted. Undoubtably there will be someone who got black wheels who wishes they'd ordered silver. It's all personal preference, and most of us have ordered based on pictures. Bound to be some mind-changing happening.

Also, I'm thinking of just doing the spokes or just the rim portion based on some of the cars and custom wheels that I have seen in the magazines such as dupont Registry

He said he has a "base" car. There are no black "base" wheels and his wheels won't fit a Z51 car.
