Powder Coated Alloys?

So thanks to the members here I have pretty much made the decision to get a 15 Fit EXL. I have always had leather seats and for some reason, I can't get out of that habit. I tend to spill stuff...

My only gripe with the Fit is the wheels. I don't love them. I have never purchased wheels for a car as I have never seen the need as I have always liked whatever wheels my cars have driven on. The Fit wheels just don't do it for me. They seem "90's" to me if that makes sense?

I was considering just doing a black powder coat on the stock rims. Has anyone done this or considered it?

Might want to try dupicolor plastidip. Not perminate lets you decide if you like the all black look and completely reversible if you don't.

not sure powdering them is going to fix the 90's issue.

For a good powder coat you'd be looking at 250. Then there's the fee's for mounting/unmounting the wheels.

Just take your time, and get a set you like.

I am sorry to ask this, but is there anyone here with photoshop skills that could photoshop the stock wheels on the 15 Fit black? The wheels are growing on me now that I bought the car but I can't stop thinking about how they would look blacked out. I just don't want to invest in new wheels now as these are my new wheels.

It would be greatly appreciated and I may not be the only one curious.

I think I'm going to try the plastidip on mine. I'll post some photos once available.
