Black or Stock M Sport Wheels

bayorndorff · 04-24-2015, 09:45 AM

I can't decide whether or not to powder coat my wheels black. If anyone has gotten their M Sport wheels black it would be greatly appreciated if you posted some pics. Thanks

I much prefer the standard look over the black wheels.

The only exception would be on a red vehicle, if the trim around the black wheels was polished aluminum.

Someone was selling a set of chromed 351's on this forum and they really looked good. The chrome look is kind of passe, but seeing those wheels made me think if I was replacing a set of lesser wheels and stepping up I'd really consider those.

If you're going black then they HAVE to be 20"

19" look too small in black and so much better stock

Alright thank you for the input.

Mine are powder coated ferric grey. I would have gone black but didn't think they would have looked good on a carbon black car.

How that actually looks amazing on that color.

I got these wheels with my new tires, but I've decided I don't much like the black. I'd go with the OEM color on my space gray car

What a contrast ValBMW with the black car and the orange/yellow leaves!

I recently had my rims painted gloss black. The picture does the rims no justice. I have not had a chance to take pictures because of the rainy weather we have been having in Houston.

Wow that looks badass. Do you prefer them the stock color or black?
