Looking to upgrade wheels - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am wanting to put black wheels on my new car. Debating on powder coating the factory ones that are on it or just buying a new set of rims. I like the style of rim I have. It seems like everyone is going to a black wheel and I think it would look better. Would like some advice. I have never had anything powder coated before. Not sure if it would be better to just buy new or have them coated. If I go new would like to know a good place to go through. Thanks for any help.

Bump as I am in the same situation.

If you like your current rims but would like them black, the most effective way to see if you'll like them in black is to plasti-dip them.

Inexpensive, non-permanent. If you don't like it, peel it. If you do like it, peel it and get them painted/coated.

I have a set of Black 20 x 9 for sale if either of you are interested. Were on the car less than a year and under 2k miles.

I like chrome

I am interested. How much? Then I would have to see how much to have them shipped to Fla. Your tail lights are they painted or did you do the film I hear people talk about? I appreciate everyone's help

I bought new wheels! The factory SS wheels look awesome black, but I wanted something different!

650.00 They are in perfect condition other than one wheel that has some scratches on the back side from mounting or dismounting of the tires. They will come with OEM center caps and lug nuts. They would ship from 48304 if you want to look into shipping options. The tail lights are sprayed on tinting, clear coat with black paint as the tint.

Ok. I will get with ups and see how much. I should be able to let you know something by Thursday at the latest.

It will be over 200.00 to ship to Fl. I'll have to wait and find someone closer so, I won't have to pay so much freight. I appreciate it.
