Powder coated TC wheels

I have been thinking about powder coating the stock wheels on my TC for a while now. I don't recall seeing anyone do this yet with the Corvette inspired wheels that come stock on the TC's, and I was wondering if anyone has tried this yet. I think the wheels are pretty sexy already, and I think that they would look really cool if they were a glossy black. I would also probably get rid of the Chevy bow-tie in the middle if I could too. This just seems like a much cheaper alternative for getting some different rims on the car, and could possibly look really good. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Cool, I can't wait to see how this looks. Its about $80 per wheel I hear, which isn't bad at all compared to buying all new rims and tires. Are you guys getting Glossy black or what?

Wow those look good. They look like the Competition Gray you can get on the Vette. One off topic question for ya though, HB SS/TC....what antenna is that you have on there? Is it from a S2000?

EDIT...D'oh! I see what the antenna is in your sig. Where did you get it?
