LCI e92 Wheel PowderCoat Sugestion!

Rafstar · 12-18-2011, 08:52 PM

Since my wheels are off the car since I'm currently in winter mode, I was thinking of getting the lip powdercoated in matte black. I did a quick photoshop of a pic from a few months back.

What do you guys think? Powdercoat or no Powdercoat?

matte black looks mean and flows with teh car better

username604 · 12-18-2011, 09:00 PM

it does match the car better, but i really like the chrome lip

Rafstar · 12-18-2011, 11:06 PM

I guess powdercoat it is

E90Mario · 12-18-2011, 11:12 PM

Get them painted in lemans blue!

hogbmw · 12-18-2011, 11:14 PM

Lemans blue lip? or matte black. I think chrome would look good if you had chrome trim still or some other chrome on the car.

M3Newbie88 · 12-18-2011, 11:16 PM

Ohh I am interested to see the result since I have a simliar type of wheel and was thinking if I wanted to powder coat the chrome lip to matte black..

monkawekrue · 12-18-2011, 11:25 PM

jonnylin1 · 12-19-2011, 01:44 AM

My vote: Matte Black lips.

edirtaynine · 12-19-2011, 11:55 AM

yes powdercoat.... but in diamond black or hyper black or whatever that black is where its not really black but dark silver. lol.

Blindside_137 · 12-19-2011, 12:15 PM

I can't stand black wheels with a chrome lip, powder coat is a must

E90MIA · 12-19-2011, 01:26 PM

^That

I think chrome looks cheap. (I know they're not cheap rims).
