Default Gunmetal Wheels on Black Truck

My chrome Foose Speedsters are starting to pit pretty bad, i'm thinking of having them powdercoated gunmetal. Anyone have any pics of their black trucks with gunmetal wheels? Not sure if i wanna do the whole rim or leave a polished lip.

I don't have any pics, but I've seen what you're wanting to do, and it looks siiiiicccckkk. Stick with a polished lip.

so can they powder coat rims that are pitted? Ive called a few places and they seem to tell me that they dont sandblast and it would run me $150+ a rim even if I done all the prep work myself.. I hate NY its overpriced

Finally a pic!!! lol. I was thinking about goin black, but i'm not a big fan of the that. I'm thinking the gunmetal might be a better look bc it's alot lighter. Thanks for the pic though.

You got all the money....
I would go with gunmetal and just get the lip polished then. If that is where the problem is. What you get J. Paying all that money for the Fooses
