What powder coat color for alpine white e90 rims?

Limey · 12-10-2011, 01:24 AM

Post your pics noting the rim color. Need to choose a finish for my zip rims. Want to see some

FVM3 · 12-10-2011, 04:52 AM

black

Bmw M3 Guy · 12-10-2011, 08:22 AM

I'm thinking of PCing my wheels white.

Or two tone, white on the exterior side of each spoke and black on the sides of the spoke and inner part of the wheel.

Limey · 12-10-2011, 11:06 AM

Ok bad start. I should have said I'd officially eliminated any black finish and can't go with white cos I personally think the car will be, er, too white. Would also like to avoid heavy Matt colors and absolutely no chrome, light silvery finishes.

Was thinking maybe diamond graphite, gun metal, dark satin bronze even. Has anyone done these or something similar with pics?

Really appreciate the advice.

gunmetal=good choice

Metallic anything on white. I would get a dark red if I had white. It turns colors depending on the angle you look at it but usually looks black unless under directly sunlight.

Gunmetal is your friend.

I don't have ZCP but I PC my 220M Metallic Anthracite with no clear coat (so supposedly matte) but can't get too much matte with a metallic paint I guess. haha

Going with Umbra Grey to match the carbon fiber on the exterior and complement the silver novillo interior:

Anyone have rims powder coated this color?

You might be waiting a while. You bumped a thread from over a decade ago and last time that dude was seen on M3 post was 2013. You can view all that info on his profile.

Btw white wheels are the absolute worst ever to keep clean. I'm embarrassed to say that I ran white wheels with polished 3" lips on a white 350Z almost 20 years ago.

lm gonna get my wheels diamonded today and thinking of white as my E46 is White but l agree with most other posts on here it will be too white. Probably gonna just go with boring standard silver. l love blue but its just a bit much on a white car but l will see if the guys in the shop can convince me otherwise.
