True Blue with Black wheels
Has anyone put black wheels on a true blue lightning?? The reason i ask is because i've been thinking of powdercoating my wheels black with a polished lip.
Can someone photoshop this wheel on a true blue for me?

damn my pics have gotten around 
those had been on my red '01. I would have a body shop paint them. No more powdercoating aluminum for me. Saw a vette online that had it's wheels p.c. and the cracked, ended up coming apart while racing on an open track event! Also have a local buddy who had some cracks show up on his p.c. wheels. Heard it's something to do with baking the wheels so the powder bonds/melts to form the coat, it also has a bad effect on the structural integrity (sp) of the aluminum material (wheel)

I didn't think that the heat from powder coating got that hot.. maybe 400-500 degrees?
weird.
