Pirelli rims gloss black

[John2204]

I am either going to paint or powdercoat my Pirelli rims gloss black - thoughts anyone??
Does anyone have any pics so I can see what they look like?

Not a good look IMO but to each his own. The problems will be losing the "power is nothing without control" text on your centre caps and there is no turning back once you have done it. Your rims are already Titanium coloured anyway which looks better than the silver of standard rims.

If you still want to go through with it, I'd suggest powdercoating the rims Matte Black instead. Matte Black won't make the car look cheap like Gloss black will. But save your $$ and leave it stock because you won't be able to recoup it come sale time and may have trouble offloading the car.

Better off buying a set of aftermarket rims (e.g. BBS CH reps) that come painted black.

If I was you I would sell them (should get some decent coin for them) and grab yourself some lightweight (8 kg or so) Enkei's, TD's, Advan's, Volks or OZ's in a dark anthracite color or matt black. It wont look tacky then, will look tuff as F@#&k, and you will get the benefit of saving unsprung weight which gives you a performance gain in all areas.
