Good Flat Black Rims

[lightsource]

Ok, so I've decided that I want to murder out my 240.
Flat black on Flat black.
What are some good completely flat black rims, preferably 5 to 6 spoke. Thnx in advance.:hsdance:

[Antihero983]

good choice sir. I've had my car Flat Black for almost 4 years now and I love it.

Fuck the haters, and trust me you'll get alot.

try something like Mustang Cobra R rims.

[SexPanda]

just buy some rims, get them powdercoated. Most companies make dark grey and gloss black, and thats usually as dark as they go.

Haters... Really? Why?
I like those rims. Do you have those? or do you just have flat black body.

Good idea, how much is a powder coat job?

Holy shit that looks nice, but I've got an S13. Know how that would look?

Also, I see your signature, and your 'wheel fitment' I think they call it... So don't bash me for this question because I'm still learning but...

Why is your wheel all up in the wheel well, and for city driving (and even tracking / drifting) isn't that really bad for tires if they're hitting the top of the well?

it only rubs on harrrrrd turns/ slammin thru the gears or insane bumps. only thing that really makes contact is my front lip and downpipe.

and my stances are set to the "softest" setting. so i'm gona turn them to full hard soon and see if that does a thing.

i think flat black would look sick.

TF also sells the RPF's anf matte black in sick sizing.

Oh yea? Is it the paint you used or just the shade makes it like that.

Your front lip & downpipe? So your front coils are lower than the back?
I'm sure they'd b pretty sick half-way (17-24). They're 32-way right?

I have NO idea what that means, like I said I'm a fuckin nub. Explain?

I wanna cop me a pair. Also becareful where you get wheels powdercoated, they can sometimes damage by over heating the wheel, or leaving it in the oven too long.

If you do it yourself spend the time and put a multiple layers of satin clear on it. It will look a LOT better and also last longer.

Rust-oleum satin clear? How many layers. 2? 3? How many cans is that.

Sick as fuck.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Dont rattle can it, get it professionally sprayed. Rattle can will look blotchy no matter what. Plus it fades after 5-6 months with out some kind of clear on it.

[Antihero983]

^wtf are you talking about?

I spray bombed my car, and 1. it certaintly was not blotchy and still isnt, and 2.it takes alot longer for it to fade than that.

prep it right and use good paint with alot of coats. i did at least 5 coats on mine.

[Automato]

not flat black yet. but in the future i will also go all out on the flat/matte black + tint.

I miss the rep system.

[Leo-kun]

So would painting a $1200 brand new set of wheels using the rattle can method be smart? Or would it be better to have it profesionally done?

I would not rattle can a brand new set of $1200 wheels. I would get them powdercoated.

Rust-oleum satin clear? How many layers. 2? 3? How many cans is that.


Do the flat rustoleum paint, then satin clear over it. I'm referring to the car, in this case, not the wheels.

The wheels I would have professionally done.

May seem kinda backwards to say, 'rattle can your car, but have your wheels done professionally' but that's what I would do.

I rattle canned a fender and door on my old hatch flat black and it came out very very good. Looked like I had it done. But I have experience with spray painting back in my hip hop days if you know what I mean.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

Yea I completely understand the order or whatever, the wheels I get will PROBABLY be flat black already, I just want to know how many layers of rustoleum paint I apply on the car and then how many layers of satin.

God Damn Taggers!!! lol jk, yea I've had my share of being a lookout ;)

Thanks in advance.:)

[muddafakka]

I'm also in agreement for getting them professionally done. Get it done righ the first time by taking it to a powercoating place.

I know you're in SoCal but I had to mention these guys. There's a place here in Florida called Extreme Powdercoaters and they do a really awesome job with customers' products.

extreme powder coaters (http://www.extremepowdercoaters.com/index.html)

Not exactly flat black but you get the idea:
