Default Black powder coated wheels!

Just had my wheels powder coated and wanted to share the results. Also repainted my calipers and put red decals on them.

That red stripe only looks good on 964s. Just kidding! It is amazing what a difference black wheels make.

Matte black - pretty mean. I have thought about doing that to my cups (they are spares). You need some matte black exhaust tips to match... Looks good on red.

Nice. I like the look of the black on a red car. I've thought about having mine re-finished in gloss black, but now I'm thinking more a matte finish.

Looks very cool, can you post a close up of the calipers?
They look cool with the red lettering, but they are hard to see.
thanks,
