Can I powdercoat my rims to this?

I have a black z w/ sports package. Trying to figure out what to do with my rims as I want to powdercoat them. Suggestions also welcome. :tup:

Sorry but powder coating your rims will not turn your Z into a Maserati. I bet if you had a good powder coater you could get close. Just powder coat all black but tape off the areas you want silver. Use rim tape for the red. I'm just not sure how straight the lines will come out between the black and silver. They may lose definition when baking.

He never said it would. I am assuming he is using it for reference.

LOL I know that, dude. I'm referring to the rims.

Anyone have any pics of something similar? I am really digging the red, silver, black combo. Rims in OP are FIRE.

Well it's a different wheel altogether I would reconsider the polished areas on the oem sport wheels ...maybe polish the "v" on top portion of spokes?

Nitrouz had a setup like that with the same colors, but he had aftermarket wheels so that might be a problem haha.

I bought these a few weeks ago in satin black (powder coat). Was contemplating the glossy, but glad i didnt do it. I have the black center caps and lugs, but the silver, I thought, looked better. black z's FTW
