Should I powdercoat my wheels black?

[Turk]

Well, should I? Plan would be to powedercoat my wheels black, and then do a blue pinstripe around the lip. If I did this, I would also change all chrome parts on my car to black, that includes the kindey grilles up front and the M gills on the side. What do you all think?

On all of that oddly enough

I think the black powdercoat and blue "speed ring" would look awesome on those wheels, as well as blacking out the rest of that stuff.

powdercoat them black chrome.

The wheels are already a dark silver IIRC, and it would look pretty damn close to the same.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i think itd be difff

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

ooh ooh, tint your tails too, except for the white part of the lens.

 

[Turk]

I would not do black chrome, matte black is what I'm looking for. Just like the wheels in the pic, only diff is I would add the blue pinstripe.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

looking at all of those 360 forged wheels has you thinking huh?

 

[Yaj Yak]

matte with interlagos blue stripe would be tight

LOL, yup. Was looking at some tonight with my buddy that has a red charger r/t. I was showing him the black 360 wheels with the red striping, and thought to myself, you know what, I could get a similar result for much cheaper. Speaking of which, do you guys know any good powder coaters in the area??? What I'm really trying to do is set my M3 off from the rest of them out there.

[Turk]

The tail lights? I don't know, do you think I should?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I think so. Leave the clear part clear though.
