You'd probably be better off getting a set and having them painted? I dont know of to many good lookin 20s that come in a gun metal color......Several Black Chrome wheels though....pretty neat looking.

Why could'nt you powdercoat whatever wheel you decide on? I was planning on powdercoating some intro vista 18's for my Chevelle SS pro touring project I am working on. I was planning to powedercoat the spokes and inner portion of the wheel but leaving the polished lip.

Sure would be easier to find a set you liked, maybe even slight cosmetic blemished wheels and then put the savings toward a powdercoat.

Just an idea

Black or gunmetal on a black truck would be really sick looking. I suggest you paint the Timeless 6's that you already have. It would be cheaper to do it this way, and in my opinion, that rim has a very nice design to it. I've always liked the gunmetal and black colored rims on cars in colors like silver, white, black. I'm thinking of painting my rim gunmetal or black as well. I'll probably go with gunmetal if I decide to, since I don't think black would look that good on pewter, but I could be wrong. Post some pics if you get the timeless 6's painted .

Went to a dealership called chapman chevrolet and they sell chapman "supertrucks" and they have a yellow 2004 Chevy all pimped
with American Racing Torq-Thrust ST wheels with the spokes painted black and they looked sick! Here is some websites if your interested.
