Though those are nice wheels, I think it kinda defeats the purpose of it being a thread about MR BBS, lol.

I will be doing this when I change my tires, gloss black even. I did it to my Evo IX BBS wheels, and it came out so good. I loved it. Made the car look pro. I can post pics of the IX BBS in gloss black if you like.

ive seen it plenty of times, and it looks awesome, kinda curious how the X BBS's would look like, especially on a CT9A, but pics on X's would be appreciated also.

I have heard that powder coating forge aluminum rims will weaken them(but i dont think there has been any studies on this phenomenon). It all depends on what temp is used to powder coat.
