I'm sure you could powder coat them after they get media blasted. The bigger issue is how bad black wheels would look on an Oxford Green X5. I generally like black wheels on a black or gray vehicle but in terms of trendiness, it seems to be on the outs.

Stick with what you've got.

Those look like black chrome in the back of the X5.

RJ Thank you!
I like the look of the black rims, im bored with the chrome.

Update: I found a guy who can do it for $75 a rim, he is sending me some pics of his work with black and chrome black.
