you can spray paint your wheels. ghetto i know but i did it and it came out great.

its not that hard, just take off the chrome and sand them down really good. get a primer and spray like 2 coats. then spray like 10 coats of black. let them dry like 20 minutes between each coat. then like 10 coats of clear coats. let them dry for like 10 minutes.

cost me like 50 dollars for everything and it took like 2-3 days to complete. i do not know if you want to go that route though.

im pretty sure there are tons of powercoaters in new york. it wouldnt be a good idea to ship it out to them, just because the shipping cost would be like what 100-200 dollars.

what are the specs? i think you need some spacers, they look sunken in a bit.
