Powder coated stock se 5spk wheels

I got my stock se wheel powder coated bike black. I think they turned out great. The guy that mounted the tires said they were so nice he didn't want to even touch them. He did anyway and did a great job mounting the tires. Here are some pics what do you think?





I know I need to clean them and my tires. I washed my car and drove on my 3mile dirt road home. Also I need to clean up behind the wheels. Thats my winter rig behind the max...2008 ford f-450 dually.

Thanks for the replies. They are going to be hard to keep clean on the road I live on.

Yeah I know I shined them right after taking the pics. The tires were pretty clean just the black powder coat makes them look really dull. The powder coat is very shiney and looks great in person. I used to have 18's on her but I like the look of the blacked out 16's better. Im very happy with them and hope they look good for a while.

The place that powder coated them had 300 different colors. I'm sure graphite would have looked good too and been easier to clean. I was going to go flat black but was told it would be harder to keep clean. I'm happy with them though.

Powdercoating came out great! How much did that cost?

Going to smoke/replace your bumper lights/headlights to go with your new dark theme?

Thanks, I paid $365 out the door. That included sand blasting and the powder coating. I shopped around the internet the cheapest I found was $60 a rim but I would of had to ship them. I found a place in VT, the only one. They were $75 a wheel and $65 total for the blasting. I might go tinted lights but Im going to supercharge first.
