should i powder coat my 19 inch m3 rims gloss black

[greekf80]

i have a new yas marina blue m3 with 19 inch rims aluminum ...U guys think it would look better if i powder coat them gloss black? I like the look but got some quotes in the 500 dollar range. i also ordered the burger spacers 15 front and 20 rear. Not planning on lowering the car since its leased

You could always plastidip them to see how you like the look. Cheap and reversible if you don't like it.

Just a thought. If you do end up liking it you might find someone who wants to trade you.

thanks for your advice

heard it's a nightmare to remove plastidip off wheels.

I like the wheels as well and do think they would look better all black. I hate how the spokes are silver. 500 is reasonable for a set powder coated.

Yes, gloss black will look a lot better. Just be careful not to scratch it because it will stand out more. Also, I don't think u can powder coat the wheels if its a lease.

You're OK powder coating OEM wheels as long as they come back OEM, We get a ton of lease returns with powder coated wheels, not a problem. Good luck, I like the gloss black idea but was torn on ordering the silver wheel. Glad I went with black but silver looks nice as well.

Wow, thanks for the info. I always wanted to powder coat my wheels but I thought they would give me problems.

Satin or matte black would look best to contrast YMB. I would never plastidip wheels of a nice car. It's a bitch to remove and it creates vibration after a rain (plastidip retain water I guess).

I played with plastidip on my last 7 series grill. It didn't hold up with rock chips and took me 1 can of WD-40 to remove. It was a nightmare.

With that, spend the extra cash to powder coat it. My Imola Red 6GC has powder coated black satin OEM wheels. Looks great and easy to clean.

I had mine powder coated flat black when I first got my car, the wheels do look better one color.

I'd go with matte black.

I'll most likely be doing satin black when i eventually curb rash the crap out of them lol

Satin black is the best of both worlds
