I like the look of black rims on a white car.
Wondering if powdercoated black or new ones would look the best.

Post that pic in the photoshop section here and someone might be nice enough to make them black for you so that you can see what it would look like on your car.

If your considering doing your stock rim just paint them. I looked into powercoating mine and it was almost $100 a wheel due to all the prep work. I have painted my stock wheels black on my 99 Trans Am & 1981 pickup. you'll be surprised how regular old gloss black spray paint and a few coats of clear will hold up. The key here is also preping the wheel, letting them dry between coates, wet sanding, then repeating that on each coat of paint.

I'd say paint them or buy already black wheels instead of powder coating, shouldn't cost much more.

if you pay more than $30/wheel for powdercoating, you paid too much.
