Opinion needed on color to powder coat OEM 18' wheels
I have 2 sets of OEM 18's - winter and summer. Looking to powder coat one set to change things up a bit. What color? I was thinking flat/semi-gloss black or perhaps a traditional "german" silver? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
If anyone has any photoshop talent and could post some pics that would be appreciated as well.

I put "german" in quotes for a reason - I can't recall the name of the paint color that comes on most german cars with silver wheels. I believe it's a standard metallic silver.

I had mine painted gloss black for winter. I don't have any pics on the car because they got salty as soon as I had them mounted. I'm hoping to wash it on Sunday and take pics then if the weather is nice.

i know what your talking about with the"german silver".. and its that paint you can only get from germany that bmw, audi/porshe wheels are painted.. And because the stock color of the 18's is dark already i think brightening them up is gonna look good, and like a totally different wheel.. (everyone just assumes paint it black now-a-days)
