Make sure they do a low temp powder coating since the wheels are forged. I specifically called BBS about my STi wheels and this was their advice.

Have a look at my semi-gloss black wheels in the RAC thread. There are gloss black pictures too. Both look really good, mostly personal preference.

All RAC colors (not a great pic): http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...postcount=3698 My semigloss black RACs: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...postcount=3510 To the OP: Just get a sample from the powder coater. Most good powder coaters will have half a dozen or so blacks, including multiple "gloss", "semi-gloss" and "matte" options. Good luck.

I did mine myself and it only took 2 days, but they're painted. Rustoleum makes special wheel paint that's tough as nails and works great. I did it ~4 months ago and still don't have a single chip. Click my signature for more pictures.

Depending on what they have to strip it takes a couple of hours to powdercoat the wheels Roughly two days for completion

I did mine flat satin black and it looks great. Just fine with brake dust. Did it in West Palm beach and was very pleased with the result.
