Should I Powder Coat them black??

beachBmmr · 05-10-2013, 02:03 PM

My wife thinks it will be too gangsta for her.

L7AS · 05-10-2013, 02:30 PM

yes, definitely!

Russkey · 05-10-2013, 03:40 PM

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

Zaman · 05-10-2013, 03:47 PM

I wouldn't either. save on other things.

bake · 05-10-2013, 06:00 PM

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.

L7AS · 05-10-2013, 06:55 PM

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.

EV0LVE · 05-11-2013, 12:39 AM

Keep it classy in silver. Stock black wheels looks tacky, IMHO of course.

remmib · 05-11-2013, 10:41 AM

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

Chili Palmer · 05-11-2013, 12:55 PM

No, those wheels look too chunky when done in black. Maybe a darker silver, but not black.

XDEEDUBBX · 05-11-2013, 11:46 PM

plastidip them first, if you dont like it, you'll be out only $20 or so lol and its 100% reversible.

Alen E90 · 05-12-2013, 02:45 AM

keep 'em stock, looks a lot classier

beachBmmr · 05-12-2013, 07:44 AM

Ok. Y'all convinced me. In keeping them silver. Its starting to grow on me anyway.

///M.Tonee · 05-12-2013, 08:21 PM

drop your car on springs and its gonna look even better

beachBmmr · 05-13-2013, 06:43 AM

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.

StatenEye · 05-13-2013, 11:43 AM

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.

Hmm..Nice. Thanks.

beachBmmr · 05-14-2013, 01:02 PM

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.

Ugh that sucks. Looks like there is some rim damage, have it refinished... in 20% gloss black and pay for the other 3.

SDf10 · 05-16-2013, 06:47 PM

Sorry to hear man! That just sucks! Thankfully is not that bad. I would do black wheels for sure.

beachBmmr · 06-07-2013, 06:37 AM

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.
