I currently have a Black RRS with the HST Conversion and 22 inch Kahn alloys.

I was thinking about getting the rims dipped in Black to give the car a completely different look.

What do you think?

Does anyone know where I can get this done and approx at what cost.

Personally I'm not keen on black alloys. But there was a post with links to an Alloy Refurb
company that seemed to do amazing work.

i'm with Endjin - i really dont like black alloys on anything......

i'd ask someone to photoshop it for you first though. post up a decent side on pic, and see what can be done?

The thing i dont like ablut blck rims is the tyres never look properly black on them also! maybe a bit picky, but i'm really not a fan!

I am in the west mids and can ask mate to do your wheels black for £150 as long as they are not too badly damaged as a favour.

Good spot Jonty. I hadn't seen the 2nd post. That said, it is only one customers feedback and no company is perfect! Still, glad I used the words "seemed to" in my post, almost as non commital as "allegedly"  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

I think your car looks v good as it is, i think you would spoil it with black wheels.

Thats just my opinion though  MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers

Jeep 4.0 High Output XJ 94 6" teraflex lift, c/w rear coils, 9500lb winch, 35" TSL super swamper boggers, safari snorkel, custom made bumpers, tom woods custom double cardon driveshaft, twin electric fans. Don't follow it..............you wont make it. The first 4 x 4 by far.

Is it a generation thing? My sons favour black wheels. I prefer the contrast of alloy finish. Just my 2p.

We did consider getting the Merc wheels painted black with silver rim; the process could be done by my local alloy wheel repairer that is workshop based. Does chemical clean and strip; painted and then oven baked. Would need to allow 3 days start to finish but I think that is because we were going for 2 colours effectively. Do a alloy/silver lip if you do them .......

Having the wheels painted on a Black car gives the car a really good look.

A mate of mine had his Focus ST and Gallardo wheels painted Black and it looked the business, however the company has now closed down so I cat get a price from them.

A place in Bham has quoted me £240 for all 4 wheels which include repairing any scuffs and scratches and painting them.

What do you think?

Gunmetal/anthracite coloured wheels look really good on a black car.

I was thinking for a long time whether to paint the wheels black or not. Over the last year my wheels got kerbed and scratched quite severely, so I had to repair them and paint anywway. on this ocasion I decided to paint it black. I have chosen a black matt'isch rather than shiny black and I do really like the result.
