On a similar note, I wonder if I could get my stock rallyes powder coated in the burgandy color that is on my car. I have another set that is black I would like to get blasted and painted, but if I can get this color I would rather powder coat.

Re:

Maybe have the 5 spokes powder coated and leave the outer hoops polished. I wouldn't do the whole wheel.

Get a cheap roll of black electrical tape and tape off just the spoke part, take a picture, and then finish taping off the whole wheel. Take another picture. Compare those 2 pictures with the above picture and see which one YOU like best. If you like them all blacked out you'll know for sure before you spend all that money having them PC'ed. Better to do it that way and then not like it.

+1... center section might look good with the body color, but I'd leave the hoops polished.... but that's just me, everone has their own tase.

+1 for black.
It's a different look, and I think it would go well with your darker-colored car. Bright wheels look good with it too, but if those were black it would set you apart somewhat because everybody & their brother has the same (or strikingly similar) wheels on their car.

x2. Then again I might go for all black too. Kinda thinking about it on my rims.

Often times when I see wheels with black centers and chrome/polished lips, I get an image in my head of the styling many wheels had in the late 80s/early 90s... an image better left in those years :lol:
