93 rx7 stock rims question
To All Rotary Owners
I have a red 93 Mazda Rx-7. It has the stock Rx-7 rims on it. The rims have 52,000 miles on them. i have seen the stock rims in black. I believe the color is called gunmetal. i was wondering if anybody knew a place where I could send my rims to be painted black or gunmetal.
Thank You, I really apreciate it.

Yes, you can have the wheels painted or powdercoated in a new color. Black is black, and gunmetal is different. Both are great colors for wheels, IMO, since they can hide some brake dust. And they look mean. 
Some (all?) true gunmetal finishes seem to be a dark tint layer over polished aluminum, which might be hard ($$$) to do. However, I bet that you can get an opaque gunmetal or gunmetal-like color for the same money as other opaque colors.
You might try your regional forum to see if someone knows of a place that is close to your home.
