Powdercoated stock rims, Pics inside (daytime pic uploaded)
 
2 Attachment(s)
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.

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

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
