Satin black 313 wheels

Berta11 · 10-06-2012, 07:50 PM

I bought 313 19" bmw wheels i would like to powder coated them satin black. Any pics of black 313? I think it will look nice on AW. What you think?

N55 · 10-06-2012, 11:15 PM

I think the OEM two tone finish of the 313's make them look nice. I'm not sure if I would prefer black.

anyways..

MattMD · 10-06-2012, 11:20 PM

I say put them on the car first. The wheels look great plain, especially on AW.

forever_speed · 10-06-2012, 11:21 PM

satin black is a really nice color. I'd like to see these post, thinking of coating my lc818 this color.

Thanks N55 for pic. Absolutely agree The Low Key OG they are best looking OEM wheels BUT i bought set of eBay (not replicas) and they are bit scratched and i want to be different so i decided to go for powder coating. I upload some pics after and when i work out how to post pics. :-))) New in here.

Not a fan of these wheels the spokes are too thin and show way too much behind them. That said I don't think they would look good black. But I've never seen them so who knows

If they are all scratched up, I would definitely resort to powder coating them black.

I like these rims a lot, if you see them with a BBK it are drop dead gorgeous. THey are easy to maintain too, the wheel well of mine spotless.

I was thinking of doing the same thing in my new 335is, so i would like to see some more pics of this.

Thanks N55. Do you have a pic of it from the side?

Kernel Kurtz · 10-08-2012, 12:25 PM

I've just taken my 313s off for the winter and have also been thinking about powder coating them black.

The pics above are useful, thanks. Anyone have pics of them on a black car?

Completely agree, I have the 313's tried them in black, no better, ending up selling them.

ndog14 · 10-09-2012, 11:34 AM

What color is your car?

Martin528 · 10-09-2012, 12:31 PM

I think black wheels are played out. They went the way of the murdered look.

edirtaynine · 10-09-2012, 01:06 PM

just close your eyes and thats how black wheels look.

always hated black wheels. why even bother with new wheels when you can't see them?

BQTuning · 10-09-2012, 02:33 PM

I think it all depends on the color of the car

I think you are right when it comes to black wheels on a black car; however I think it looks awesome on a white car because of the contrast!

carbonschwarz · 10-10-2012, 04:36 PM

Better paint them into Gunmetal. There will be a contrast and you could actually see the wheels

Berta11 · 10-12-2012, 12:39 PM

Wheels been delivered and I think they are best looking from all OEM. Im not going to paint them now but who knows i might change my mind. I though if me or wife scratch them (if black ) it will be very visible. They look really nice on AW. It add at least 15bhp. :-))))))))))

mckmcr · 01-11-2019, 05:37 AM

I would like to do the same as Im about to buy a nice 330d but wheels are curbed, restoring diamond cut wheels is more expensive than to restore them to black (or any other normal color)

Also car is silver so want to add black grille, mirrors, privacy glass and boot spoiler. will be black on silver
