I'm debating doing this to my Camaro. I have a 1994 Z28 that is white and I just picked up a cheap pair of 16" Zr1's. I have the black and white theme going on my car (black- top, mirrors, headlight buckets, front turning signals, berger panel, tint and white- car, side markers, rear fill in letters) and I was what black rims would look like. But I dont want to do it the normal ways......I want to powdercoat them ALL black (no polished lip).

Would anyone happen to have a picture of a white camaro with all black rims? I've searched but all the white Camaro's i find have a polished lip....

Thanks

Is there a reason why you don't want a polished lip? IMHO, without it, it's almost looks like a steel wheel.

 

Agreed. It looks awkward when the wheel blends in with the tire.

 

The basic reason I want to do it is to be different. How hard would it be to powder coat the rims and leave the polished lip?

 

Pink wheels would be different too.

 

Funny funny......Then what do you think would look good then? Stock silver...all black...polished lip with black....black chrome......white??

thanks

I think the black with polished lip would look pretty mean. Care of Brent Franker's Site:

 

Could also do annodized blue like the Anv TA's.

 

I dont blue would go with my black and white theme..... Anyone else have pictures?

Thanks

Yeah, I know, old thread, but then people bitch about making new threads on old subjects....

Anyways, I currently have the 17" SS 10 spoke wheels painted black (including lip) on my white '93, and I get compliments all the time on how great/mean/badass it looks, from both car people and non alike. At first I didn't think I'd like it, thinking it would look really goofy on a white car, but it ended up growing on me. It's a neat effect with the black roof, enough so that when I pick up a set of 15" wheels for slicks/skinnies later I'm going all black on those too. I'll snap some pictures tomorrow when it's light out.

 

Black with a polished lip on my 02 Artic White SS. This is the best pic I have.



Also these are the new ZR1's with the bigger lip.

I hate to bump a really old thread but here you go. Too little too late ? I'm sorry I wasn't destined to get my Camaro for a few more years.. My wheels are 17s and I didn't go for no polished lips either. But I got the black and white theme nonetheless. I think my car looks badass !
