Hey guys,

Thinking about painting my original wheels matte black. Does anyone here have that done to their car? Does it look nice? I attached a pic below. Let me know if you guys think it'll look cool.

My wheels are matte black, I'm not a huge fan of matte finish. I wish I wouldve went gloss or satin

Plastidip them and get you some simple green to carry with ya to wash them down when you wash the car. The stuff works and holds up on the rims. I have the same ones and they have been dipped for 5 months with no issues. It will look real good on a white camaro

At least you can see what they look like black. Pick you up some cans of Glossifier to give them a little shine or you can get the gloss from dipyourcar

X2 on the plastidip to see if you like them black. I would only do satin though, which is gm black and 40/60 clear/flattener

I am not a fan of black wheels. I just put these on my car and IMHO they look 1000% better then black wheels.

Thanks for all the help guys! How much does it cost to get them painted black?
