Buti_BMW · 02-02-2009, 05:56 PM

im thinking about painting my rims on my AW e92 M3 like this fellow did bellow on his ride. Should I do it? I seem to like the black wheels look lately

ACZakka325i · 02-02-2009, 06:00 PM

That Fitment on the lip is

As far as the wheels yeah like he said do as you please but my .02, all black looks better then just black spokes.
Heres an example: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225828

veightkiller · 02-02-2009, 06:24 PM

it doesn't look that bad.. but that lip OMG it's a bit short.lols

Kev · 02-02-2009, 06:33 PM

Not a big fan of that flat black or gloss black look, kinda spare tire-ish to me. I would go for some Hyper Black painted rims.

I think it looks good man. How much did it cost? The only thing is how durable is it? Last thing you want is a bunch of rock chips after a while.

drZ · 02-02-2009, 06:46 PM

hmmm..not too bad..why not trying gunmetal instead of the black??contrasts nicely with the polished inner and looks smooth with space gray..imo

Thats not his car, he's just asking if he should do something like that.

MDCTFTW · 02-02-2009, 07:14 PM

If you do it make sure they don't forget to paint the entire wheel like that guys.

///M PWR 00 · 02-02-2009, 07:35 PM

uhh is that a authentic vorsteiner lip? please say no....

J08M3 · 02-02-2009, 07:40 PM

I think it looks cool with just the spokes painted

Purple88Gold · 02-02-2009, 08:34 PM

Ummm...I dunno...I'd do a textured all black, powdercoated instead. Don't forget to post pix please when you finally get it done.

tma1c · 02-02-2009, 08:38 PM

paint the whole rim black would look better.

matt beard · 02-02-2009, 08:48 PM

Go for it, I think those look every bit as good as some of the high $ ones i've seen posted.

jamesisel · 02-02-2009, 08:58 PM

Wheels look pretty good

msile · 02-02-2009, 11:39 PM
