Black Powdercoated Rims Request

Well guys I'm about to pull the trigger on finally powder coating my 20in Bullets. The silver lip has driven me crazy on the batmobile for too long. However, I didn't realize there was so many different shades of Black! So if you have your rims powder coated black PLEASE post them here and tell me what shade they are. I remember seeing some in here but I think they were lost in "the great divide" (<---Land Before Time Reference for the youngins on here or old guys with kids).

I had my 18" Bullitts powdercoated satin black in March 08, the came out with just a hint of wrinkle finish in them, which I love. Unfortunately the wheels came out of powdercoating 2 or 3 days after I blew the motor in the Bullitt, so I don't have a bunch of pics of them installed (just phone pics), but here's what I do have, from the day I had the tires mounted.

Ya, I guess I ment more of a greyish in them, not nec other shades of black.

Wow those look awesome... I think I'm leading more towards the flat black though.



shame about the motor...

We have an S197 GT around here rolling around with some 'true' flat black Bullitts, and honestly, they just look dirty/unfinished to me. That's why I went with the satin finish on mine.
