Has anyone powder coated their wheels black?

Has anyone powder coated their wheels black? I'm not sure why it wasn't an option from the factory, but saw someone selling the same wheels in black on ebay and it looked surprisingly better than I thought it would.

Maybe even leaving the rim as metal/polished. I had those kind of wheels on my panamera and really liked the way they looked.

I have turbo aero wheels. As much as I like single color look I think these wheels are perfect as designed. Gloss black with diamond cut areas - gives it a BBS look.

I don't disagree, but still kind of like the look of the 2nd image here:

I think the black wheels look very cool especially if you combine them with black mirror caps, black window trim and black model designation in the back.

So option 1 would be to powder coat them black. Option 2 would be to sell them and just get something already painted black, ie:

Option 1 would run $1k I'm guessing. Option 2 would be pricier lol

I kerbed one of my wheels and decided to paint my wheels in satin dark platinum (a Porsche colour) and I think they look great with the Mamba green. I'm not so fond of the shiny diamond cut areas and was cheaper without having the wheels cut at the same time. You can't get this paint option on the configurator for the Taycan but at £150 a wheel it was cheaper than from new in any event and was done thru the local Porsche dealer.

Looks great. I am surprised Porsche didn't tell you you have to change the kerbed wheel. They did with me and I had to have a brand new wheel. I was told that Porsche don't allow wheels to be refurbished, which I find really strange given that I have never heard any other manufacturer put this kind of limitation in place.

Great to hear you got this done through a Porsche dealer. ?
