I think I'm going to stay stock for now. These rims are just too gorgeous to rush a decision. If I end up doing it, perhaps a powder coat would be safer considering the temps that these wheels get up to.

Roomate did it on his Jeep SRT8 (which costs significantly more than a Nismo) and has gotten nothing but compliments on it. Co-worker did it on his M3, and it looks great. I have spray painted (Satin black) base wheels and everyone seems to like them a lot. Have yet to hear anyone say that it makes any of these cars look $10 cheaper, much less $15,000. If you're the flashy type, flat black wheels in general aren't for you, regardless of the costs.

wrt the plasti dip rims looking cheap--it's taste. If you are into a certain type of the murdered out look they work I guess. But no one in person is gonna tell you your car looks bad... |

It also might be the shiny Magnetic Black'ness' of the car offsets the flat black plastic.

But yes, it is all personal preference, and the majority of my friends into cars are also ******** and will make fun of anything on your car at any moment. We don't care much for feelings around here. Maybe some people have friends that baby them, mine don't. If the owner likes it, who cares what other people think? I did some pretty crazy stuff to my wrx when I had it, and what other people said meant very little as long as I liked it. This guy obviously didn't like the flat black wheels. That's his choice, but to imply that wheels painted that color make the car look $15k cheaper is kind of an insult to anyone that has it done, no? Example of stupid stuff I did because I was bored: Some people actually liked it, I thought it was funny. It's just a car, people should lighten up.
