Ok thanks Ron! The pics are uploaded into my gallery. If someone out there could do some photochop magic and show me what my wheels would look like black I would really appreciate it. If you could do the wheel in a flat black and leave the center cap chrome that would be perfect!

Black wheel

OK, so don't laugh, it was 0730, just woke up and have to rush as I have to get wife off to airport. This is a quick 5 minute stab. Wasn't sure if you wanted center cap black as well.

That does look kinda cool.

Only thing is that 3 months later the paint will probably all be scratched and stuff...

I too like it. If you can find somewhere to powdercoat them and do a good job, that will look sweet with the chrome center cap.

My wheels are the "5 slot" OEM 16" wheels powdercoated black (60% gloss) and I left the center caps chrome. It offsets the black very nicely. I'll try to wash my truck and get a pic - right now she's FILTHY...

i was thinking about looking for a good shop to powder coat them. Any ideas how much that would cost. If it's too much it would make sense just to buy a new set of black wheels.

anyone else want to take a stab at the second picture??

You MUST get the wheels sandblasted to removed the factory finish, or the coating will flake off easily. That was ~$35/wheel. Solid coating with no masking was ~$40/wheel. It was right about $300 to get it done right. One black wheel (aftermarket) will cost you $150 or more. Get a 5th one done and have a spare handy in case something goes bump in the night
