I'm planning on getting it done when I get the car wrapped in 2 weeks. Wanted to see how they look blacked out first

I am thinking the same. Are you going glossy, satin, or flat?

The wheels look great in black! I won't say that your green and gold colour scheme is my bag, but you've done a great job getting it the way you like it and it does look fabulous. Kudos to you my friend!

Your best bet is to reach out to the shop
Their price varies due to size of car, color, material etc

Fantastic job man! I have been wanting to black out my grill and rims for my G05. Did ONEighty just vinyl wrap all the chrome parts for you? Assuming the rims are powder coated. Wish I could do the same for my 740M wheels but I'm on a lease...

How long does the whole process take?

I'm on a lease also, they don't really care if you return with black wheels since it's an option now. I had the car there for 5 days but that's for them to do the wrap also. I think the wheels turn around is 1-2 days.
I got the shadow line trim from factory so it was all blacked out already

Thank you! Congrats again on the new look! So sick

As for the lease, I did do some research online and I saw different stories about doing permanent changes to the car... probably need to talk to my dealer but I'm more inclined to go the safe route by doing something like plasti dip

Were they painted with plastidip and clear coat? Or what sort of process did they use? How are they holding up?

I want to do the same to the M50i I have on order. The black 22" are just too low profile for me.

I believe they were powder coated, so far no issues. I did manage to curb one a bit so I'll have to get it refinished
