i have a 2000 S10 and i want to put either 18 or 20" black wheels on it but i cant find any. I just want to know where ya'll think i could look, i'd like them to be solid black without any chrome or silver.

i have seen them on ebay before, now for some reason i cant seem to find any for an s10...just keep checking ebay if you want to go that route, if not check local ad papers, and local tire and rim joints...but theyll kill you on $$$$$

I have no idea, because I'm in the same boat as you. I've been searching for a set of 18/20 black wheels for my truck and haven't had much luck either. Unfortunately, you might have an even harder time than me because the few I've found have a polished lip, which is the look I'm going for, but not once have I come across solid black. I haven't given up looking, so if I come across anything I'll be sure to let you know! I've even tried searching cardomain and streetsourcemag for pictures of s-series on black wheels to see what brands and styles people are running, but no luck yet. Please let me know if you come across anything! Thanks :)

yeah if anyone knows where to go and how much it cost to get something powder coated let me know. if i find some rims that i like i'll just buy them polished or something and have them powder coated black cuz i dont really want chrome...even though it looks great....black is a completely diff. style.

a friend got a old used oven free around here on junk days( cost $0.00) and did one rim at a time

eastwood pricing on powder 25.99 for 2lbs which would be enough for 4 rims, 2 coatings

and if you dont want to powder caot yourself start looking around the Houston area. there are hundreds of places there that do chrome plating, powder coating and all kind of different stuff.

I have cabo 907b's on my xtreme and i love them They were super cheap and have held up well. They have quite a few styles in black that will fit our trucks. I have 4 22s and 2 20s of the same wheel. I waould be willing to get rid of the two 20's cheap if somebody wants them. Here is a link to what they look like on my ride.

i have a 2000 reg cab with a 3/4 drop and have some black 20's on her. she looks good but has the chrome lip which isnt what u want tho. i bought mine through a local car dealership that sells aftermarket crap. why dont you try the local dealerships around there? worked for me. got them pretty cheap too. $150 per wheel for 20's aint bad. :)

HEy I work for a Tool Place and I Bought my own powder caoting system. I can powder coat anything up to about a 22" X 18" object. They only thinhg you'll have to pay is about 20.00 a can (1 can for 2 rims) and what ever shipping is in your place to the PHX. If its close im always up for a good road trip.
