Powdercoated stock rims, Pics inside (daytime pic uploaded)

Well after 3 weeks of finding the right black rim for me, I decided just to get my stock rims powdercoated black and I think it turned out great.  It was 100$ a rim plus aligning so its not too bad at all.  They painted the original center caps black for free also.

Sorry for how dark it is, I had to pick it up late and I will take some daytime pics tomorrow.

EDIT: Forgot to add, it was done by shoreline in HB (www.shorelinemotoring.com)  great guys there and definatly know what they are doing and know audis very well

Tell me whatcha think :)

You got a pretty bad ass stealth look going on. Congrats.
I was thinking of doing the same thing but mine is Lava Grey so I'm not sure how flat black would look.

Damn, that's hot!!  Looks amazing; can't wait to see some daytime pics.

That might look pretty good, actually.  Try posting for a photochop.

Darth Vader !!!!!!! looks good!

not gonna lie, I've ALWAYS hated those rims, but they look pretty dope.  good job!

Do you know how much weight the powdercoat added to the wheels? 1 to 2 lbs? How much did the wheels weigh stock?

Nice!!!

Looking super dope! Any thoughts about the calipers being another color or are you driving under the radar??

prophet: I am not sure if they added any weight or how much but I can't notice any differences while driving

Grubble: I was thinking of painting them black but you can only really see them when your pretty upclose like the picture is.  other than that they stay pretty hidden

Thanks for all the feedback guys i appreciate it :)
I will post up daytime pics as soon as I can tomorrow

Cool result. I like it.
Now you need some of these.

Ah thanks a ton I was about to go on a search for those because looking at my car today it showed me how much those damn orange lights stood out.  why do all of them say they do not fit the s-line bumper though? :-/

very nice those are dope

added a picture during the daytime because the other one was wayy too dark

thanks for all the feedback also!  all i have to do now is get this thing tinted and the orange lights in the front replaced with the blacked out ones

Just installed the dark smoked sidemarkers on my Lava Grey today and they definitely fit in nicely and will be the finishing touch to the look on your car.

"Dark" Vader indeed!

Where did you get them, how much were they, and were they easy to install?

I got them from Parts4Euro.com here: http://www.parts4euro.com/cgi-bin/PPStore/ppstore.cgi?database=Products&action=view_product&productID=10079&category=7

I followed the instructions provided here: http://oooo-a3.blogspot.com/2006/05/ecs-clear-sidemarkers.html

With the right one (where you need to remove the grill where the foglamp is), I ended up unscrewing the foglamp itself before I could access the original sidemarker to pop out. My arms weren't that skinny after all.

But definitely worth the $40. Hated the yellow sidemarked. Hated it.

looks great, i cant wait till i powder coat my s4 rims in the spring

Why do all these blacked out sidemarkers say they do not fit the s-line bumper?

Because they dont. The only blacked out or clear markers out are not for the S-Line bumper only the standard bumper with rubstrips.

So since I have the s-line bumpers I have to keep these stupid orange markers? :(

Your sidemarkers'd look cool painted the body color. I think someone posted a DIY ^

SWEET JESUS!!!! That is the look I'm going for! I'll post pix after next week of the grill and sidemarkers....now you have me thinking about powder coating. Great Look FusionX!!!!!

Thanks diamond :)  I debated for awhile about powdercoating and im glad I did. I hope yours comes out good too if you decide to do it :)

Nice job!  I didn't like the stock rims either, but that gives 'em a totally different look.
 
Now you're getting everyone to convert to the dark side! 
 
Definitely paint the sidemarkers if you can't get smoked ones. And maybe a German plate or plate filler.
 
Has anyone tried blacking out the mounting arm and backside of the rearview mirror? Or is that a
