Bmw style 193m Power coat gloss Black or keep stock

E90_Blue · 10-13-2012, 11:10 AM

Hi all,
Need you guys expert opinion. I have stock 2010 montego blue 335d sport. I want to get 19" avant garde m359 eventually but due to price constraints I got a set of oem 193m. Want little upgrade from my stock. Should I powercoat the oem 193m glossy black or keep it stock color? You guys opinions will be appreciated. Thanks. Here's sample pics I found online oops sorry can't upload pic on app...

I like mine stock, but I have seen them black and they look good also - was thinking of doing my alpine white X5 with black rims, but I think the black would look decent with montego also.

I'd say keep them stock color and save the money for the m359's

Thanks for input yea my stock is the sport 2010. Think it's worth even changing to 193m? If I keep stock color not much change? Let me know maybe I'll keep stock color and not waste $375 for black power coat?

Keep your money, the stock 193's are awesome stock. And nothing is as good as the factory finish.

+1 to save and get the M359. Or sell your stock ones or 193's and use the money to buy the avant garde.

Save money and buy m359 anything painted oem looks like crap

OP, why not just plast-dip them gloss black? If you don't like it you can take it off and it's only $50 for the kit.
