you sure you want the stock ones? You can buy black cragar soft 8's for like $40 a piece. My uncle got em on his truck, they look pretty good.

yeah i like the stock rims and it would something that not a lot of people do. i don't have a need for a bigger/wider rim so the stock ones would work great, unless it cost some crazy price for the powdercoat, i am going to try to call around today to get some prices.

Yea I found on ebay 15x7s, 15x8s, 16x7s, 16x8s, and as well as a 15x10. Just search on ebay with "black cragar." A whole set is under $200....

I had a set of aftermarket wheels powdercoated for my wife's car and it has worked out great. Even the Ohio winter and road salt hasn't damaged them one bit. Personally I think the stock dakota wheels would look awesome pc'ed black. If you buy cheap wheels like mentioned above you will end up with crappy looking wheels in no time because of the cheap finish they put on them.( that's exactly why I ended up pc'ing the wheels on the wifes car) I'm not sure where you are but I know a top notch powdercoater in W.Va. that has done some work for me. Here is his site if interested.
