Black S-lights

Has anyone powder coated the S-lights to black. Show me pics if you have a black set of S-lights. Thanks

I've been thinking about doing this, but now I think I'm realizing that that's just *too* black. It needs a polished rim or something to break it up a bit.

I think you are better of selling the S Lites and getting a new set of black wheels. I pretty much broke even selling my S-Lites with tires and buying all black wheels with tires.
I personally dont like polished lips for two reasons. I have seen some older cars that have the polished lip as an add on stock wheels and that to me is the same as hubcaps, and thus it reminds me every time when I see polished lips no matter how nice those wheels are. Plus at glances it almost looks like whitwalls.

Well, that is another option for me, you are lucky that you did not have to spend so much money for that. Good advise, thanx.
