Anyone painted M35i OEM wheels black?

Has anyone painted the OEM 20 inch wheels black on a x2 M35i? I saw one post with Plastidip but was hard to see.

Keen to see some photos, the attached photo is my car with factory wheels

I'm pretty sure some models had them OEM black which was pretty cool I have the 19's and was thinking of doing a change of color as they'll eventually be rotated to winter tire duty by next season.

Maybe just try to plastidip them? I mean if you don’t like it you can remove it again.

I did with my winter wheels 1 season and know I am convinced I will let them powder coat after next winter.

Search for senja.f39 on Instagram. He had his resprayed black last year.

(He’s on here as havenzhiv but hasn’t posted updated pics as far as I know)

And one in Mineral Grey from Autotrader for comparison.

I like the gunmetal original better on that color, actually
