Paint my stock wheels black?

jdhil90 · 03-25-2010, 01:44 PM

So I know stock rims will provide the best handling on my BMW. Is there anyone out there that did this and has pictures?

Couldn't be further from the truth...plenty of people have powdercoated their stock rims. What style do you have? Unless they're 18's, I would say don't bother..

Looks great with bigger wheels. What rims do you want to get in black?

Couldn't be further from the truth. Stock tires are terrible, if you want better handling, get a larger rim and better tire.

If your stock rims are smaller than 18's, I wouldn't even bother powdercoating them, they'll look silly

Stock rims don't necessarily provide the best handling for our cars.. quite often it's actually the other way around. Where'd you hear that?

jdhil90 · 03-26-2010, 01:47 AM

These would be the rims I'd powder coat black. What yall think?

Don't do it...I've seen style 161's painted black and it ain't pretty

Saw a pic of those painted black and they looked good on the car, but I think your car isnt aggressive enough to pull it off.
