Hey there,

I've been looking for some pictures of either Spec B or K-Speed Biaggi Black Wheels, that have been painted Matte Black.

If you have done this could you post a photo?

I just want to see what it looks like,

Thanks :)

Edit* QUick Question,would the 18" Spec B 10 Spoke rims fit on a 2006 Outback?

Thanks Shav. Nah, it was initially plastidipped but wasn't happy with the finish so that photo was after a proper gloss black respray.

Ah ok, can I ask what the cost was for that?

Did the job myself :D can't remember how much I spent on supplies, maybe about $120 (wet and dry, wax and grease remover, primer paint, few cans of gloss black and few cans of clear coat)

plus cost of fitting tires etc?

Sounds pretty reasonable

Nah didn't strip the tyres for the respray. Did the old card trick between the rim and tyre.
IMO the respray was a better long term option than plastidip in terms of value and durability...that is, only if you're sure you want that colour. There's no easily turning back like plastidip :wink:

Im thinking more on the lines of hiding brake dust, and giving it that tougher JDM appeal.

The only other option is to splurge out and buy some Rota Gravels or PWR's in Black instead, get them in a 8" wide rim and have some mild 'stretch' happening with the current tires I have.
