Powder Coat 220M Wheels??

SergioPark · 01-03-2012, 07:10 PM

Originally, I was looking at going with the Comp Package, but I am switching up to the 220M wheels with DDC. I am picking up a Jerez Black E92 and I am debating staying with the stock wheel look or going for a satin black powder coat.

Thoughts? The car is a lease, so I am concerned about getting them back to the stock look or swapping before lease return. With the ZCP wheels, it would have been easy to just powder coat them back to the stock color.

Even if you weren't leasing I'd leave the 220's as is. I'd pick another wheel style for the aggressive black look.

So far results seem rather split :-/

I have to agree with Denk on this one. Choose another black wheel. The stock 220M's don't look right black. They are supposed to be clean and classy but black makes them look cheap and cheesy, IMO.

Thanks all for the opinions. I think I will leave these stock. It will be a nice contrast against then Jerez Black.

I kinda like them black

Anyone have a pic of the 220Ms in black? I keep going back and forth.

Thanks for the pictures. I am starting to like the look. Having my winters wheels on (black) has me thinking more and more about going with black wheels for the summer too.

Not the best quality pic...

Definitely black

After some more debate, I think I M going to go with black wheels. But, I might go with a ZCP wheel as opposed to a 220M.
