What color rims?

I picked up a used set of 17" rims. They look alot like volk five stars. I would like to clean em up and give them a fresh paint job. My 89 SE is black. I'm thinking of painting them either white, or that new graphite, silvery black color that I obviously can't remember the name of, or maybe just plain gloss black for the evil stealth look.

Does anyone know where I can find a picture with these color rims on a max, preferably a black one. Even better if you can post photos to this thread.

Thanks for the help fellas

Black Ice, and I would go with the Black Ice, looks tight on black cars. My bro has the ROH RT's with that finish on a Black '93 SE.

Look at N34JZ's rims. He has that black Ice finish to. His sig has a good pic. But his car is red.

Bronze Evo's

Pics in my sig. They aren't black. its actually called spartan bronze and they are powder coated. Its not a match to the black but i think it compliments it well. Hope this helps.

Anything but white. I think White rims only look good on white cars. Thats just my opinion. KJ2THEMAX has a really nice color that goes good with the black i believe that would be a good choice.

How much did the powder coating cost??? And where can I have it done??? Also before I get my new rims, I want to paint the stock ones I have now, just to tide me over. What's a good type of paint to use for this job???

I bought them with the powdercoating already on them but places around here charge around 50-100 bucks per wheel to powdercoat I think. Just check around your area with custom shops and maybe tint shops. If thy dont offer the services, they can probably point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the compliments fellas. Makes a guy feel good about his Max.

Thanks for the help man. Yeah those are some pretty bad *** rims, I love the powder coating. I was thinkin of getting the new alloys from the 350Zs and that would be like, the perfect color to have them in.
