Lots of nice pics (esp that blue one!)
I will get pics by end of the week. I know you are waiting chris

BTW, powdercoat>paint... the durability is worth the premium in the long run

Yeah, is that blue one semigloss or gloss?

looks like gloss to me. Usually I am a fan of semi-gloss but on that color (and black) gloss looks perfect!

Yeah it does look glossy and it would look pretty badass on black as well!

Wish I had some better pics, but I had mine powdercoated gloss black.

Poppin Fresh · 10-06-2010, 10:51 PM

Has anyone ever done hyperblack on style 220 wheels? Or any of the other E9X M3 wheels?

Mine are in right now being re-done from anthracite to 'shadow chrome' just like the e39 M5 OEM wheels.
Will post some pics when I get them back.

edit:

They're back and I think I've got it right this time, on car pics to follow.

Looking forward to seeing some pics with the wheels on the car...I think I will go for the same finish if they look as good as I think they will.

swamp2 · 10-08-2010, 03:52 PM

Great thread. Loving all the cool wheels.

That is amazing!

WOW DAM NICE . I was thinking about getting the same on my ZCP wheels.. What was the cost?

Smoked chrome - love 'em

A crappy camera, an overcast day and low res Photobucket images mean they don't look half as good in the pics as they actually are.

SenorFunkyPants · 10-10-2010, 05:07 AM

That looks great...who did them for you and was it especially expensive?

Sorry, just seen this.

The Wheel Specialist in Fareham, Hants - they have branches aroung the UK. They did a great job (both times) and customer care was as good as you could wish for. Cost me about £350.

Thanks...I'm still trying to decide what finish to get on a spare set of very lightly kerbed 19" wheels I got cheaply off ebay...I'm torn between the shadow chrome, ltd edition gloss black and a plain BMW silver.
