Black Stock Rims???

[SoCal.Stinger]

I’m almost certain that this is in an in house job at Kia of Downtown Los Angeles, but the glossy black finish on the stock 19s looks pretty good. I think they would look better with the E badging... Has anyone else seen this on any colorway?

 

[Morning Sun]

They do look good...

I have a company who powder coated wheels for us on a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. Did them in black. Turned out phenomenal.

 

[Devang Patel]

Cost to get them some?

 

[iclicku]

Yeah I would love to get this done on mine as well. I'll have to look it up in my area.

 

[Euljiro1ga]

no no no, i dont need that, no need. I didn't see these photos, seen nothing. It would terrible on my deep chroma blue Stinger. I don't like black wheels, black wheels are no good. no no no no no.

....you got more photos?

How about using the aftermarket red GT wheel cap? it would look nice with the black rims and the red calipers.

Excuse my French but WTF is bolted to the front of the hood???

 

[TXGT2]

Nice! They would look terrific on my black GT2. I’ve already tinted the windows, this would enhance the look of my car. Any idea of cost?

They call it a hood spoiler.

 

[Devang Patel]

My opinion is that it ruins the shape of the front

Hood Deflector

As for the rims, I talked to some at the dealership and was told that their in house service department did the powder coating on these as well as the stock rims of a Touring Edition Niro that was in the showroom.

Also, if you notice, this is a 4 cylinder premium that is originally sitting on the 18" stockers.... Note the lack of those lovely red Brembos!

Thats a bug deflector ............they look like poo , dont work and IMHO are very uncool !! ........................every Kia dealership in my area tries to flog these things on every new Kia they sell , 50 % of Souls and Optima's up here have one .......................stay away !!

Thanks for checking @SoCal.Stinger. This is good to know if I decide to have this done.

Well done ! We are thinking of doing this to the next black one we get . Lol yes hood deflectors are on almost every vehicle we sell! However they are all customers choice .... we have yet to sell a stinger with one installed

Thanks for sharing @Scotty@SherwoodKia about the black wheels. As for the deflector . . . I’ll pass!
