I will have too agree. Satin bronze is a nice contrast and contemporary color. I'm thinking of painting this color on my BBS RSGT diamond black wheel centers.

Hi iwantm3, just wondering if you powdercoat your 193m rims......me thinking about it too.

Thx.

Those wheels in gloss black on AW looks awesome

If you are going to powdercoat OEM wheels, do you need to sandblast them first?

Go with #5.

I saw a picture of satin bronze wheels on the forum and while the wheel looked good, in my opinion it didn't look good on the black car it was mounted on.

Me (and a couple of others) have gone with gloss black on 193Ms. Personally I rather like it, but many don't feel it at all. You do lose the detail when looking at it from far, but one of my mates described it as "inviting you closer to take a look." Given a few days, they end up looking like a matte black. A few more days and it gets a bit more grey-ish, and given even more time the dirt really builds up and the wheels start to look bronze. Amazingly, the wheels look clean even when really dirty (and bronze looking).

bumping this as I am looking to powdercoat my 193m's!

was thinking gloss black...

OR BLACK CHROME (see cyba tips) but apparently this is really tough to do since no one wants to do this for me
