I don't believe that is an option at this facility.

These are powder coated Carbon Flash to match the rest of CF on car. Hard to see in these pics , they pop in the sun.

I had my OEM silver painted wheels powder coated gloss black. .These are the original wheels




Be sure to place the jack stands in the proper position. Example of rear below.




I ordered the black center caps OEM from GM to match the gloss black coating. Great match.



These are my OEM wheels powder coated gloss black.

Here is a pic before I had the wheels powder coated. I guess I need to break out the DSLR to get some better pics.

I'm thinking powder coating the nickle finish wheels Hyperblack. I think that would match up well with Arctic White.
