Thanks man. I would think if you go for satin black on your SG, it will look really nice.

Nice! That is filthy... I'm ordering a space gray e90 and would love to do that to my wheels. If I might ask, what did that run you?

chris s · 09-20-2010, 03:15 PM

powder coating from a reputable shop can run anywhere from 500 (which is very reasonable) up to $1000 (which is pricey). Figure $150 or so per rim is about right...

SS32 · 09-21-2010, 10:30 AM

Painted with Rustoleum wheel paint. Took me 3 days and $50.

Probably depends on the area, but I've called around and they average $60/wheel around here, +$50/wheel for sandblasting if you need it, and another $60/wheel if you want clearcoat. I was looking at doing my 335's M6 reps and using them as winter wheels on the M3. They're narrower than stock, 8.5", which should be good for snow, and they're cheap so I don't mind them getting beat.

Yeah you can get a supergood deal for PC with $50/wheel. But make sure they use outdoor PC and not PC made for indoor use because its cheaper.

I am going to look into this, great pics def. very convincing

j03chu · 10-04-2010, 11:48 PM

<3 painted oem's.

im with koxal here though, DIY'ing your own rims is actually not as hard as you think, and they will never look "ghetto" or rattlecanned if you take time to clean, prep, prime, coats etc. Ive painted my own rims many times =]

I'm pretty sure they look complete different in person. Some paintcolors just doesn't show its true self in camera.
