Getting wheels painted, what black should I go for?

AKG M3 · 04-23-2016, 08:28 PM

I have a SG E92 M3 and getting my 220M wheels painted black. What black should I go for? Gloss, satin, matte, etc??? What is closest to stock? I know some models in Europe came with the black 220's....thanks guys!

Satin or semi matte would be what the GTS came with, IIRC

I went with Matte black and no regret.

I don't like matte black -- looks like cheap steel wheels. I would do a semi-gloss.

I have matte on my jet black and I wanted to change to satin next, matte just always looks dirty.

Thanks for the feedback. Going to go with satin black.

Getting them done at eurocharged, dropped them off last Saturday so should be done later this week.

Sweet! haven't been there since they switched locations.

I'd love to get your impression of the finished product as I may paint my wheels sometime down the road.
