Need your opinion on painting my wheels! ASAP

What do you think? Should I paint these wheels gunmetal/hyper silver or leave them alone? Bringing her in today for some suspension work. Thanks!

Replace them with a set that has some lip.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's the wife's car and I want to keep stock wheels on there. Looking for an aggressive OEM look similar to some of the new e70/90s. Nice wheels tho!

I considered refinishing my OE wheels until I found out a set of of good used, hubcentric, non-OE, TUV certified used wheels can be obtained for roughly the same cost as the value of the OE wheels and refinishing costs. Got mine for $600 with CF black/silver center caps and a set of 9/32 tread Hankook Ventus tires that retail for over 1k tires alone. There are steals on E-bay for X5 tire/rim sets. Lips on BMWs look awesome.

OP...leave them alone, looks fantastic as is. The gunmetal looks like they're covered in brake dust...that's just my opinion.

the only good thing about gunmetal is when they are covered in brake dust you wont even notice.. lol .. but i say leave them the way they are.truck looks real good

Leave em alone. At least it matches your running boards and badges. Up to you though.
