Are there any black Lightning's 2001-2002 with black powder coated wheels, thinking about doing this want to see how it would look first. Photoshop will help too.

 

I think Black on Black looks great

Here's Black rims on Red

 

Holy crap. I wish my truck wasn't white now. I've always been envious of the sonic blue trucks, but that black on black is sweeeeet.

 

I happen to Love my Hoosiers on Black Rims
AMOF a Brother from here hooked my up with an extra set of those Black AR Rims, I really got to get a set of hoosier 16" front tires to use for those special days

 

That black on black truck looks awesome Rob...where'd you get those pics from

what would be the best thing to do, paint the rims black, or have them powdercoated black?

 

Powdercoating is good on wheels because it's a harder finish than just regular paint. Now does that mean it's better than painting your wheels...not necessarily. If you paint them your choice of color and then put several coats of clear on top they should be just about as durable as the powdercoat and probably have more shine to them. With my experience with the black wheels I couldn't see anything less durable than powdercoating holding up though... Also the darker the color the easier it is to see the chips from road debris.

 

One of these days, I'm going to powder coat my race wheels (stock 02s) in gunmetal gray (the color of the 05 concept L wheels). I that would look even better on a black truck than black.

I like it.



shiat, just noticed you said stock wheels. BLAH!

 

Rob_02Lightning, are the one's pictured powdercoated or painted?

 

The wheels were powdercoated and the center caps were painted. I should know because they were on my black 01' If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
