Does anyone know where i can get some clean powdercoated alloys in the 15x8" size?...the only ones i can find having chrome in them too and i want a dull black powerdcoated look. I don't want steal wheels either.

Try American Racing Wheels with the teflon coating. I am not sure if they have 15" wheels but they look cool.

I had looked at the American Racing wheels but at 275 bucks that can get pretty expensive. If i don't find some cheaper ones I think i'll have to go that route...

If you want cheap have you considered just doing black steel wheels.

I have but have only been able to find glossy black wheels, and i'm going for more of a flat black look. I know i'm being pretty picky but I want a certain look and enough time hasn't went by for me to abandon that look....thanks for the help though...  |

The steel "black and shiny" wheels will rust and fade in a year or two anyway...  How about a visit to a local paint/body shop? If you prep the new wheels, they'd prob paint fairly cheap. There are plently of MIL spec flat colors to choose from. (military spec. Very high quality and most are "non-reflective") My Sub's wheels were painted with it.(myself). OD green baby.... Used 1 quart @ $35 Stew |

Do you have factory alloys on the truck now with the size you want? If so just clean those up and paint em like 94cnytoy says. That way you are only out the cost of the paint and then you can wait till you find exactly what you want and have something cool looking in the mean time.

i didn't even think about just taking them to a paint shop...what would i have to do to prep, just clean and sand?
