Just wondering what they'd look like all black.     If anyone is handy with Photoshop, can you chop a pic so I might have an idea?   Thanks!

Thinking about doing this, and can get it done really cheap. Did they have to burn off the factory powdercoat before they coated your wheels? I wasn't sure if the whells are powder or paint from factory and if they are powder it will take from 2 days to 2 weeks to get burned off depending on how busy the guy is. I don't want to be without the SHO for 2 weeks!

My understanding is that the wheels are painted black with a machined face.

I am switching to my winter tires/rims soon. I believe I will plasti-dip my '12 PP rims before I put them back on. Black rims on a Tuxedo Black PP SHO? Whatcha all think?

Someone on the TCCA forum did that.... looked pretty gangster black on black.  Maybe take a pic of your ride and PS the wheels black to see.

It'd been cool if you could've gotten inside the spokes too...it'd almost resemble the flower wheels in blue

Black wheels look great on a white SHO!

it also looks like the under cladding was painted black on this particualr SHO.  is it possible to paint the under-cladding?  i have a 2010 MKS-EB and i want the under-cladding to be a more glossy or pearl-black vs the standard dark grayish matte-black...

Unfortunately I wish I could give you guys more info about these wheels, but I purchased the car from the dealer with the wheels already powder coated and the car lowered.

That's my project for my Silver Elantra with grey wheels. Plastidip black. My F150 has chrome & I will be slowly painting all chrome to plastidip black. Or if I can find smoke. Great winter project if buddy has a heated garage to boot
