First one is OEM for comparison, have been thinking about powdercoating the 331 wheels in a gunmetal color but unsure how dark I want. Share your insights fellas, and specific why!

PS: Had to borrow one of the member's picture to photo shop because the pic is so well taken , shout out to him mine is exactly the same

The "medium" shade actually looks good!

[Ben2k9]

i kinda like the darker one

[BMW2014]

I like the medium shade, but think the darker color looks better.
Powder coat?

[Carrozzeria]

Really digging the medium one!

[polyadam]

I myself am favoring the middle one too, not entirely too dark but adequately dark enough to the right shade. I wonder how would I describe such color to the shop.

Polyadam THANK YOU, that is actually my car, I was thinking about doing the same to the wheels, I really appreciate you doing the photoshop, it give me an Idea of what it will look like. I like the dark but my wife likes the medium.

Where are you getting powder coating done?

[VELGEN WHEELS]

Shade 3 looks good.

Different view

The more I see these wheels, the more I like how they look.

[polyadam]

Ha, there you are! I couldn't remember your ID sir. You are welcome, are you getting them powdercoated soon?? Please do keep me posted.

I will consider Coleman's Collision in NJ, I believe they are one of the sponsors. My car is in their shop undergoing the M sport conversion now, will be ready by tomorrow.

Is the color of your car dark graphite? I thought it was JB from the photoshopped photo.

Not sure if this is the same place or not. Yelp reviews don't look good. They mainly pertain to the sales/service, but still a turn off for me.

I bought a set of 331's for winter and considered powder coating them also. Post pics!

[KayMo]

nay,buying a new set of wheels would be much better

[Rudeja]

its is Dark Graphite, I really like my wheel style, but darker would be nice, after seeing your photoshop, I am really thinking about it more now.

Don't go darker than the medium shade grey, kinda look like the OEM finish called Ferric Grey.

Ferric Grey it is, thank you sir.

Medium just looks like it's been out for a hard drive and covered in the a-typical silly amount of brake dust that the pads throw out.

Personally I prefer OEM or black but if you're looking for powder coated then the third (definitely not the second).

But they'll still be glossy, which brake dust covered wheels won't be.
