i hate teaser pics, but i can't help it. i'm super excited about how they turned out. i bought these se37ks from a member on the board. they were curbed so i got them fixed. then i had to match the color (originally silver) on the fixed rim. i instead just decided to change the color all together because i probably had to get all four powdercoated to match anyway. ....long story sorry. now black chrome. tires come next week. more pics then.

....i haven't decided whether to keep the center caps, go without, or paint acura caps and make them fit. i kinda like the last option. let me know what you think. thanks.

thanks....the whole process was about $330 total for all four rims. that includes sandblasting and two stage powdercoating (black chrome and clear coat). took about a week at indy powder coating (link because these guys are awesome: http://www.indypowdercoating.com/ ). se37k's weigh about 15 .lbs in 17x7.5 form. i'm still undecided on the center caps. i like to keep the volk caps but i'm uneasy taking it around town when they can be ripped off with a flat head and some anger (those things aren't cheap!). if i did the acura center caps i'd get the color matched. i think they might look decent. i'm wrapping them with falken rt-615s which are coming next week (thanks to chris of discount tire direct for the hook up!). thanks again.

Nice wheels, however they are just powder coated as stated above, right?
Chrome is dipped. They don’t look like black chrome that I’ve seen before.
Perhaps "black chrome" is just the color they named it and doesn’t really denote chromed?

I really like the look of those. What size are they? I think if you color matched the A then it would look very clean. Post more pics when you get the tires.

they are not actually chrome, that is just the name of the powdercoat color. they still shine insanely in the sunlight.

they are 17x7.5. i'm going to try to get another set of acura center caps to mess with. we'll see.

thanks for the praise everyone. tires come tomorrow so i'll hopefully have on car pics by this weekend.

Do you still have these SE37K rims? If you're switching, I'll buy it from you at a fair price. E-mail me at: ramon_valmonte@fpl.com
