I wouldn't do that. Save the $$$ and spend them on springs.

Full black wheels don't do the F10 justice IMHO. If you are sticking with the OEM wheels, keep em OEM silver. If you are set on black wheels, get something with a polished lip; matches the character of the F10 much better.

IMO black wheels with polished lip don't match well with the car's color. If you are getting an aftermarket wheels, I'm suggesting satin/matte black center with Gloss black lip or satin gunmetal center with Gloss black lip.

I don't think powdercoating them black would make the car look any better really.

I would drop it, if i were constantly driving through queens and manhattan. I like the ride quality much better on the mSport, than my previous f10 with the 18" crappy goodyears. And I am worried about the 19" wheels as they are now.

Plasti dip the wheels first. I did this in under 1 hour and got the only evidence needed and that is visual proof. I have an AW Mtech and it looks amazing with these wheels in black. Requirements; Tints, Black trim, spacers 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear, black vinyl the rear diffuser, black series logo and black performance spoiler.
Check out "IT'S DIGGLER"'S car. |

As luck would have it, the wife got hit in the car yesterday. Not even a week old. Luckily it was a low speed impact, and the damage is not major. She got hit in the drivers side rear door/quarter panel. The Rear wheel was spared.
She had the exact same type of collision in my '11 F10 in november. I have a crazy good body guy, so I am not crying over it. Just wish other people would look at where they're driving. Ill post a pic of the damage when she gets home later, Ive been trying not to look at it. Last edited by beachBmmr; 05-14-2013 at 03:11 PM.. |

Had to reply to you all, I got my car back yesterday.
I gave in and Did the wheels the same dark silver metallic (in two stage paint, not powder) as the diffuser in the rear. Also Painted the side view mirrors gloss black. My body guy is amazing. He got an entirely new door for the car, rather than just to body repair. Thanks for the well wishes. |
