Gloss Black or Matte Black
I think matte black would look something like this Does anyone know how to do a gloss effect on photoshop? 818guy, I called the powdercoat place and they said the powdercoating only adds a couple oz. to the wheels. I guess it would add any significant weight.

No luck w/ the gloss black photoshop. I found a picture of a LB 330 w/ gloss black wheel though.
Miami, the two holes on the bumper were from the stock front licence plate holder. Maybe if you put your front plates on it would hide the holes from the euro plates?

black rims don't look too good to me, which is why I went dustless brake pads!!!
hey, there's a way to save some dollars, just never wash your rims!! that M3 would look super HOT with regular silver rims IMO

I'm not feeling the matte black. But the question is, what do YOU like? You may also want to see the colors in person at the powdercoating shop. They should have samples to look at, that way you can take them outside and put them next to your X3 to get a "general" idea.

818guy, were you happy w/ the quality when they did your wheels? They are like 45 mins away from my home, just wanted to know if it is worth the effort to go that far.
