Pictures of m3 wheels painted black

MLOREY · 04-22-2012, 03:08 AM

Hi Guys, about to paint my wheels black, was wondering if anyone had pics of the stock 19 inch m3 wheels painted black (satin preferably) on a jerez black m3?

I find satin a bit of an inbetween colour.. like is it a shiny matte, or a dirty gloss... neither here nor there.

Don't wanna go full matte or full gloss?

gloss offers no contrast, matte was done on my old car and is becoming a bit passe... open to other suggestions if there are some pics to back them up..

kind of unsure atm...

I've seen gloss on a black e93 m3, looked sweet!

I quite like Satin finish, I would say go for it!

Have you looked into "Storm Grey" that would like nice on your m3 IMO.

first picture is my car currently, second is one ive found with what looks like satin black wheels? but not sure... im looking for a few better pictures without the (foul) yellow callipers to make up my mind... as i said any other suggestions welcome, just dont say get new rims as I just purchased new tyres with these wheels and like the style etc... just want to paint them...
