Powdercoat factory 20's or other black wheel?

whiteM5 · 05-18-2013, 07:35 PM

My car is white, I like the black, titanium or otherwise dark looking wheels on the car.

Decision between powdercoating the factory 20's or something aftermarket. Anybody done this? If so pics please? Or pics of black/dark rims on white m5's trying to make a decision quick.

Go gunmetal. Better than black IMO.

Just now dropped off my originals to get podercoated gloss Blk. Should have them back Friday.

whiteM5 · 05-28-2013, 08:58 AM

factory 20's or 19's? Please post pics when you get them back, and what color car do you have?

boots · 05-28-2013, 09:15 AM

No prob. Factory 20. White/ Blk car

PatrickC23 · 05-28-2013, 03:45 PM

I like contrast as well and opted for Titanium, I feel like black camouflages the design of the wheel. I guess you could say its gunmetal also, not sure the difference.

Aren't you worried about resale if you paint em?

boots · 05-29-2013, 07:52 PM

Powdercoated not painted. Resale value not worried.

OK here is the pic of my wheel that I had just got powdercoated gloss black. Looks good and cant wait to see it in person.

mwlmd · 06-05-2013, 04:48 PM

looks great. What was total cost?

boots · 06-05-2013, 04:53 PM

99 per wheel. I could have sent them to Rotiform in cali who made my aftermarket wheels and they cost 80 per, but I have shipping to ---4 days/from--4 days and then wait prob 2 weeks so the 99 was a given. They only took them one week to finish.

Susoa · 06-05-2013, 07:18 PM

Great deal, I had some done here and it was $150 ea.

boots · 06-05-2013, 08:53 PM

150...damn I bet they outsourced them. Thats where the extra 50 came from. I went to precision powdercoat in houston.
