Black Rims

How much do you guys think it would cost to paint my rims black. I was thinking about it and i would really like to paint my rims black. Thanks

Here is a picture of what the rims look like.

If you are looking for something long term and that is going to last get them powder coated, though I am not sure about the pricing of it but I don't think it is too bad.

yeah, i'm not a big fan of salad shooters, even though i still have them on my car, but they might look better than those. You might be able to even find someone who's giving them away, then you could get salad shooters and have them powder coated for the same as getting the ones you already have done. Check in the z28 parts for sale section.

Yeah, if diffrent rims are possible, do that. I can understand if money is tight, thats why we are suggesting salad shooters. They look better than those and you can literally find them for free. I'm getting some new ones with tires for free. I wanted diffrent ones for my front cause 1 has curb rash and it just worked out well that people are always ditching their salad shooters.

BTW:in case you didn't know, salad shooters=the rims i have in my sig. Same with sean.
