Default Quetion about black rims.

Im thinking that black rims would look awesome on the rappy.. But cant find any websites tat sell black rims. Anyone know what these sites are. And what is your opinion on the best looking one? This doesnt need to be done but does anyone have a pic of a blue rappy with black rims? Thanks!!

True.. Probably will do that. But if i paint them. How long till the paint starts to crack and come off? Powdercoat.. How long will it last?

I think the LE raptors had black rims. Surely someone is willing to sale theirs if they put on newer rims. Try ebay?

03 raptor LEs came with black rims. If you take them to a reputable powdercoating business, it should stay on for good, until you start hitting rocks and stumps, then it might chip off.

you must have a money tree growing in you back yard if you are going to get them from a dealer.
stock wheels from the dealer are outragu$$. you are better off getting your wheeles powder coated.
it will cost you half as much as new ones from the dealer, maybe even less.
but if your content on going to the dealer then you better go to the back yard and harvest that tree.
