black oem wheels and ltz zeon

[eljefe]

I finally powder coated my oem 19 wheels black and had cooper zeon ltz tires installed 255/55/19. I really like the tires.

Cool. The wheels look different now. How's the road performance of Zeon ltz?

I had some POS firestone destinations on this vehicle when i purchased it. I had some shaking in the steering wheel. I balanced, road forced balance, replaced rotors, I even had the dealer look at it. The dealer said it was the tires. I told them to put a set of tires on it and if the shaking went away I would purchase the tires. If not they would take the tires back. The dealer said they couldn't do that. So I never bought the tires. I have had this vehicle almost a year and have been dealing with the shaking. So far with these coopers no shaking and ride great. There is a hint of noise (as others have stated) with the more aggressive tires but hardly noticeable. I am happy and better than that my wife is happy. I will never use the company i chose for powder coating but that is another story.

Looks good! Side vents and grille might look nice in black as well, but I know that's personal preference

Noticed you had slotted rotors....how long have you had them?

i have had the ebc slotted rotor with green stuff pads for several months. I really like them. The front brakes have some serious stopping power.

Looks great! Definitely matches the OEM 19" black design package wheels (at least on MY2013). I am with Brandon, are you going to do the vents?

This is bad picture but it shows the blacked out vents and grille (before lift).
