Should i powdercoat the wifey's wheels black??

i think the answer is a resounding YES, but i'm lookin' for your opinions. she prolly won't let me get new wheels, but i can talk her into powdercoating the existing ones black....

I would stay stock. With that style, they just don't look right. If it had a spoke less wide and a lip on the rim that was chrome or polished, then yes. But looking at the pics, it just looks like a rim that is covered in brake dust and needs to be cleaned badly. Just my $.02

ideally, i would get a black wheel, 1-2 inches larger, with a chrome or polished lip. BUT, we just bought new tires, and the wife isn't liking the black wheel idea all that much now....

i love mine black. mine are extremely polished and could never be concieved as brake dust. i had a guy in an new frontier follow me from the gym the other day just to ask me if i got them from nissan like that.

I was referring to the rims on his wife's car, not yours. To me, it doesn't look right w/ that style of rim.

thanks for the feedback thus far fellas.
i guess the reason i wanna mod this car a bit is cuz i'll be driving it everyday this summer while working in NC. the titan will be in storage in ID...

lets see some more votes!

Those wheels look better in silver IMO. You might be able to find a black w/ polished lip 15" or 16" wheel fairly cheap.

well, that's the problem we're running into. she wants a sunroof waaaaay more than new wheels. so i might have to start a thread about the best aftermarket sunroof options....

I'm telling ya,
With that kid on the way, you are going to need a minvivan (there's that dreaded word again) or how about this. An Armada. Then you don't have to worry about those wheels anymore.
