I've seen a lot of pics of s2k's with powdercoated rims, but I haven't seen any where the wheels are SHINY. I was wondering if anybody had pics of a shiny gunmetal-ish powdercoat. Considering doing it, since I'll never ever EVER be able to afford aftermarket rims, but I don't like the flat finish...

Anybody?

 

im considering doin this too for my silverstone....anyone??

heres one of my car its a bit dity but not much. they dont really get shiny. probally as good as it gets right here. hope it helps!

 

They aren't OEM, but you get the idea. These are my old ones.

 

^ I was going to post up my same wheels.

 

You get the "shiney effect" on powdercoat by polishing the metal before you have it powdercoat and using a translucent powder.

 

when you get your wheels powdercoated ask for the gloss finish

one of our members here in NM has them black with the gloss finish its looks good

 

I was just at MotoMotion in Ohio (www.motomotion.com) have some tires put on my lexus and they had some sample wheels that were powdercoated in Black Chrome, I thought they looked great....i took a couple camera phone pix that i'll post

 

powdercoated black chrome

 

Oh nice.

That's very close to the finish I'd like. When you say black chrome, you mean that it's chrome which has been powdercoated black? Or is the color's name "black chrome" ?
