I used Dupli-Colors line of wheel paint/primer/clear on mine about a year ago and they still look freshly done.

Re: Black iroc wheels

I'm wanting to do the same thing only I was thinking powder coat. Is powder coating rims a good idea or is this dupli-color paint system the way to go?

Re: Black iroc wheels

According to some people powder coating a wheel changes the properties of the aluminum in a negative way.... Allegedly.
