Wheels look good. Mind sharing how much it cost to do?

Thanks! Sure thing, it was $500 to get them professionally powdercoated. These guys do great work. I've sent about a dozen of my cars there over the years. Thank you! Once everything else is installed and the car gets a nice detailing I'll take a proper photoshoot of it.

Ya know, I thought I preferred cerium grey on carbon black but after seeing yours with the darker grill and trim pieces I'm not so sure anymore. I'm on the fence between sticking with grey trim and trying to match wheel color or black out the trim and get darker wheels. Hmmmmmmmm, you got me thinkin'.. thanks for the post!

Had to rescue one of our company trucks after breaking down. Drove the X3 off road for about 50 feet!

Engineering Explained has a YouTube video about Powder coating rims, and they filmed the process with the help of a shop in the Phoenix area. The whole multi step process is legit and consistent with how a good powder coating should be done. You may want to check out that particular shop. |

I also called my local dealer and they wanted $250/wheel to powdercoat my 19" 698M wheels. The cheapest I was able to find in my area is about $175/wheel.

Glad I played a lot of Tetris as a kid. A trip to Costco never ends cheaply.

One other downside is that they said they have a turn around time of 2-4 business days which would be tough since I'm the primary chauffeur to the kids. A rental car would be a necessity then.

@chicagofan00 If the shop does follow all the proper steps as shown in that video, then 2-4 days is not unexpected. I'd rather they take the time and do it right then skipping steps to get it 'finished' in a day. A lousy paint job may result in premature paint failure such as flaking after exposure to the environment (akin to what many of us see in our exhaust tips).
Anyway, your car would look good in either OEM 21" or blacked-out rims. |
