I went the other way with my E38. I had the wheels refurbed and painted in Titanium Silber, to match the car. It's a few shades different from the oem wheel color.

Curious to see how yours comes out! Should be sweet.

Naz, I would definately do it if my X5 were either a lighter color (like yours) or of the E70 bodystyle. I like contrast. Black is too murdered out for me; gunmetal has a more classy feel.

Damn. You guys are talking about "gunmetal" and my powdercoater wants me to provide a RAL color for that........

Any advise around before I end up with pink rims :-)

Best,

Helmuth

It is difficult to get a real sense of what the RAL colors are but I would think anything close to a titanium sort of color would be good. These might be close but you would have to see actual samples of the paint.
