    Wheels America does a great job with wheel color changes. They have a Philly branch.

    You can get your stock wheels powdercoated black for about $75 a wheel.

    You can check Tire Rack, search for the size you need, then tell it to limit the search to black to see what comes up.

    Thanks guys. Tire Rack did not have much and the custom paint jobs is a thought. I just learned that the Rota Slipstream would fit if I used spacers. I don't know a lot about this, so what problems could that lead to?

    Nice job. I like the black with the red inside. Just learned that the Slipstream will fit if I go to 16". This was not clear at first. So, I'll try 16X7 with 205/50 tires.

    Thanks for the help.
