Powder Coated Rims on my 4.8is
 

Some of you may recall from last December my decision to purchase an Imola 4.8is with Chrome 168 wheels. I was offered a great deal and figured I would be able to live with the chrome. Not so, I absolutely despised ever element of chrome on a BMW and especially Imola. So I decided to have them blasted and powder coated. Here is the finished, undressed product. I'll be getting the Porter Cable out when I return from Europe. I thought of selling but figured this was a more frugal first step.

Give me the straight goods on the color and finish. I went much darker Anthracite with a Primer Coat than I orginally intended. Balls out or what?

Sorry but they look dirty

Black rims forever! i'm with ya

Very nice pal! Nice contrast to the red....

They look like they are greyish.. How much if you dont mind me asking?

looks like wheels with extreme brake dust

I'm not a fan of the black out wheels and all, until I saw your pics. That looks really nice.

They look a bit too gray...need to be a bit blacker. Then they'd look hawt!
