nice deal! I just did the same on monday. The rear tires took the longest out of my project. The wheels were powdercoated in one night. What black did you go with? I used semi gloss

paint the body to match or get the kit.

powdercoating was about 100/wheel. They had to strip the original finish, then powdercoat, then let it cure, then powdercoat again. The finish is awesome, and if you are on the fence about doing it, do it--it looks great IMO. Thanks for the thoughts on further "blacking" my rig up. I think I will look into the window tinting, black grill, and black rear handle.

Looks aggressive - definitely agree on going with the black grills in front and even the hood. I would also to replace the chrome window trim with some shadowline trim to complete the look

I Agree with RAYXI, tint them windows, the back ones should be double limo tint : - ) Then the front grill Im with you 50/50 but I do think it would be worth a mock up in photo shop just to see : - )

Hey Bzoeller,

Nice look, very aggressive. I have a couple of questions:

1) Who actually put the new 20s on for you? Dealer? Someone else?
2) What tires are on the 20s?
3) Are you planning on doing a winter/summer/winter switch between these and the smaller rims? (I'm not sure how cold it gets in Indianapolis)

Thanks!

1) Had an alignment place put them on (place where I had the tires shipped form tirerack)

2) Front 275/40/R20, Rear 315/35/R20

3) It does get fairly cold here--similar to Chicago winters with less wind--I will probably keep these on year round though, as if there is a lot of snow/gunk on the ground, I have a Toyota Sequoia with 130K miles that I can drive around in that.
