Actually, the caps are plastic so no powder coating. You can get a very similar finish with a flat black spray paint. Almost identical if you pick the right paint.

Hey Mark, LTNS to you 2. Always fun to check in and see what mischief you and Darin are up to, never a dull moment.

Black wheels look good with that color blue.

Found this shot of Marcus Buehler's (of custom carbon fibre fame) GT3RS with black wheels + body color edge ring. Think of that in Turquoise Blau.... just sayin' .....

Hey Mark, I really like the black and blue theme you have going, I think it looks great. Love how the wheels turned out. Just my opinion, but don't do the polished lips, the car is looking very 'purposeful', great job!

Thanks Paul... I had to join the NorCal Black Wheel Club that you and Mike started. Peer pressure and all that.

Hope all is well with you. I talked to Darin and I think we need to catch up on stuff

JP-- ^^ Glad you found another use for that shot. One of my favorites from Marcus; funny self-portrait.

I really like the color combo. I have been thinking of doing my car the inverse of yours. Mine is a black coupe, and I have been thinking of getting some blue wheels.

Please post more pictures.
Thanks for sharing.
