Default Stock rims powdercoated all black

Ive been doing a ton of research trying to find the best looking all black rim on my a3 but havent gone across any ones that Id get. Im thinking of having a custom car shop powdercoat http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35.../audia3yay.jpg those rims all black but i wanted to hear all your opinions first like if it will look good or what. Im conviced it will look good and it would save a lot of money i just like hearing peoples opinions

Have somebody photoshop your wheels black. There is a subforum on this website where people will do it for you. Chop Shop

That looks good, but IMO it would look better if it weren't a flat black. But at least it gives a good idea what you are going to be dealing with.

Flat black ---> not shiny or glossy ... like how the rims look in the photoshopped picture.

I agree - gross black would look better. Flat black just makes them look like they're covered in brake dust.

yep, That is what I meant. I think a glossy black would look better than the flat black, but that picture does a good job of showing you what you would be dealing with.
