Guys I need your opinions.

I keep thinking about getting my 21" wheels treated to black but then go away from the idea and then it comes back, almost like an itch if you get what i mean. Anyway, has anyone done this, if so how much and who did you use and what was the process ?

Here is an example i have found of how mine would look

Black wheels do look cool and quite sinister. BUT...scuff them and you'll see the scuff marks all day long. You need to be so precise that it almost not worth the anxiety!

They also gather dust incredibly and quickly look very dull. Look great when clean but that only lasts a few miles.

Black wheels can look good.

I would imagine a straight forward face skim and relacquer would bring them back to standard.
Black on black would be a little too drug dealer for my taste.

I had my 20" wheels powder coated black for delivery.
Black wheels are like black cars - - look awesome when clean, but show the dirt very easily.
But I think the Macan looks great clean or dirty :lol:
