Default Powder Coated Stock Rims

I currently plan on powder coating my stock rims. I just wanted to get an opinion on what color people will think look best on a Berlina Black S2000.

Right now I'm favoring gloss black because it will have a stealth look to it, if anyone has pictures of powder coated oem rims on a Berlina Black please post it.

I would do a flat black, similar to Spoons. I think gloss black would be too shiny.

I don't think you can powder coat Gold or Bronze...they would probably have to be anodized or painted on.

I'm not a real fan of flat black, that's why it's not on the list Plus i heard it's hard to keep clean after a while

These are mine. Granted, they are not black on black as you requested. The color is kind of a cross between Volk silver/grey and Volk bronze with Rick's blak and silver S center caps. I'm getting rid of the chrome lug nuts, I just got Spoon lug nuts in gunmetal. What do you think?

I was contemplating the same thing as you but think I will keep the stock silver on my '04.
