I'd definately go this route... Just had some track bars, and suspension powdercoated locally, very very happy with the results... not super pricy and it looks incredible..... keep em

I was at the Jeep dealership today and they had some wranglers with the black moabs. They look so badass.. Id send em to the powdercoater

Yeah, but that's the new Moabs that are flat spoked. The TJ Moabs look horrible when they're black. Mine have some rock rash on them and I still wouldn't change them from the original silver. IMO, since they're in good shape, leave them as they are. But, if you're absolutely set on painting them, do a graphite. It'll look much better than black.

I painted my stock wheels black, I dont regret it because I did it the right way and they turned out perfect, but it suxs when you get a rock chip and you have to do some touching up on them. So Ive been lookin for some black pro comp styles also. And ya man it will look bad *** Trimmed !
