[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Alrighty..

ive been debating powdercoating my Boyds for a LONG time..
and now im getting antsy about the idea..

the difference is tho is that i want to black the lips too.. also they will be a matte black.

the car is blacked out alot of things and im planning to PC the chrome trim but keep some of the chrome here and there. like the marquez lights.

so... peep the pics and vote!


Shinier..

Sinister...

Shiny..

Sinister..

I agree something needs to be done to not be so main stream...but I don't care fot the all black...unless you are a big fan of Night Rider!

What i would do is powder paint the centers and do a brushed lip. This will help tone down the wheels without going overboard. Also what trim you wanted to leave shinny should go brushed as well. Just my thoughts!!

I agree with Anthony 100 percent. The brushed look on the outer rim is killer looking with a power coated center. That's my next wheel as well.

They'll blend in with the tires and lose the total diameter so I'd suggest satin-black out the centers and satin finish or polish the hoops.

paint the centers black but give the lip a brushed look.

Man with great taste. ...that's exactly what I'd do too.
Too much black is just...too much black.I'd rather see a brushed rim with dark gray or flat gray centers.All billet generally isn't my friend...with my only exception being Black cars.
Ultimately it's your car...and your choice.Good luck and please post up your finished project.

hey guys..

oldy thread.. my old wheels are long gone.. somewhere tearing it up in Luxembourg.


anyways..

i didnt QUITE go for all black.

I did get the Iforged..

the are Hyperblack centers.. aluminum bolts.. and Gunmetal Grey LIPS!

my car is a combination of gunmetal grey and black accents..

the thing about all black is that its a gutsy route to take.. being that its all black..

but i dont mind because im not looking to fit in or anyone to like it.. Im building this for me.. noone else.. other than my son.


but i did decide COMPLETELY black wasnt where i wanted to be. i think the lips will be a cool look..

i still havent decided the trim yet.. i already have powdercoated black trim but the car isnt finished.. so.. when its all done ill find out that one.
