Has anyone done the OEM 7-spokes in a dark grey color?

I'm thinking about painting my rims like the smoke color offered for the body. Has anyone do this? I like the look of the 18" 5-spokes, but want to stick with my 17s.

Thanks

I don't know about painting them, but I have seen the wheels you are talking about on an Xterra and an older, maybe two or three year, Frontier. Maybe you can check the local dealer and see if those wheels would even fit our Titans. They were the same color charcoal grey as my wheels (five spoke) but on a seven spoke off road wheel.

Re: Has anyone done the OEM 7-spokes in a dark grey color?

Two things I would look into:

1) Powder Coating to match body paint

2) Black Chrome

I think either would look SICK

I like that color, I also really like the black chrome, thinking about doing everything but the outer lip, leaving the lip polished or chrome.

XB666: how did they do the center caps? Did they mask off the nissan logo?

What was the process you used for the painting the wheels and how is the finish holding up?

Has anyone powder coated their stock wheels? How is the powder coating holding up??

Re: Has anyone done the OEM 7-spokes in a dark grey color?

i like the darker gray color that some of the 6 spokes come in. or was thinking of having mine chromed, but need a chrome ctr cap.my friend is replacing his armada wheels soon, he said he was going to give them to me so i will have wheels to put on my truck and send out my wheels, takes 10 days to get them chromed. had brake fix done and the local dealer scratched my wheels, so need to fix the scratches or do something? have a guy the does wheel recon while they are the truck said he would fix them for me.
