flat black rims on fc????

are there any flat black colored rims for FC's?

a good example would be the Spoon SW388's


15" = ~8lbs
16" = ~12lbs

SO LIGHT!!!
but....Spoon (Honda aftermarket company) wheels on an RX-7???

I just picked up a set of 17x9 regamaster evo rims... They were spraypainted black over the white, im going to strip them and then paint them back black.

They are very similar to the style rim you are talking about, and they are offered in sizes/offsets that fit FCs.

InitialD_FC: do the regamasters COME in flat black?
i found a site selling them & the darkest color they had was some kind of "gunmetal" (cept it looked a dark shiny silver)

& the Spoon rims weigh: (Desmond makes Regamaster & Spoons)
15 X 6.5 - 5X114.3 42 - 8.6lbs Flat Black
16 X 7 - 5X114.3 35 - 11.9lbs Flat Black
16 X 8 - 5X114.3 45 - 11.9lbs Flat Black

the Rota Slipstreams weigh ~13.5lbs for 16"
not sure if it would be worth it to pay over double for Spoon/regamaster wheels only 2lbs lighter
