Default Black crosslace rims??

Has GM ever had black crosslace rims for Bonnevilles or any other vehicle that would fit? I think I saw a Fiero Formula with black ones but I'm not sure. Don't even know if Fiero rims will fit the Bonneville stud pattern.

How about aftermarket?

Fiero'* had black crosslaces, but they were 15x6 with a 5x100 bolt pattern.
I have seen them over on clubgp (1989-1996 Grand Prix 16x8 crosslaces painted black professionally).

Any place that does rim repairs would be able to paint them.
There is a 92-95 Bonneville in town (black) with black cross laced rims.
I've carded him once or twice....

On average wheel repair shops charge $50 a wheel to their repairs, totally clean the wheel and have it powdercoated the color you want it. I was looking at a shop in Minnesapolis MN that will do them for $45 a wheel and Im thinking about gun metal or oem gold.

I thought it would be sweet also, but I think gold would go with the cars persona better.
