Hope the owner doesn't mind. Can anyone color these rims black on a stock 335i. I'm very curius, because I haven't seen one yet. This is the only clean Alpine White 335i pictures I found. Thanx

Revlis picture

Someone did have stock PCed black rims around here, but that post was a long time ago. Looked terrible, don't go for it.

It'd probably be cheaper to just buy a new set of wheels instead of pcoating your stock ones.

I know I actually recommended the same thing in another thread, and for a alpine white car too, but I would go with the hyperblack CSL wheels.

The local wheel shop that I use to repair/pcoat my wheels, they usually want $75-100 dollars per wheel, depending on how the guy is feeling that day.

Also, with pcoating, sometimes it weakens the structure of the wheel, due to the nature of how the process of pcoating works. They need to be heated up, etc, that could cause future cracks in the wheels from use/stress.

I actually have a wheel that has one of the stress cracks that I use as a table haha.

^I wish I could find the picture...

The one with the member who actually did it was terrible. They were really shiny and had no metallic look to them.

Best way to describe it is the paint from a black iPod.
