Has anyone ever done their 135i with 261m wheels in matte black? I've looked all over and ive never been able to find them in matte black on a Space Gray 135i.... I have seen them photoshopped but they were glossy.

I'm worried they won't look that good but not sure since it doesnt seem like anyone else has done it... it's so much cheaper than getting new wheels. What so yall think? Anyone have a pic or has done it themselves?

nobody?

I chose to powder coat mine with a 40% gloss to try and match the shadow line trim. My car is Alpine White though. Once the break dust gets on them the gloss goes away and they look matte most of the time. I've been very happy with the results and the cost was nothing to me since I have a friend that owns a powder coat facility. I wanted to try and keep the stock look. It's been almost a year and I've had no issues with coating they still look good. I bought an extra set off this board and had them coated. That way I didn't have to deal with the logistics of having my car on jacks. I just had the tire shop swap them out and I sold my wheels for the same amount I bought the others for. I can post a pic if you want to see them.

might help, might not - my wheels are painted SATIN black (semi gloss), soon as you hit the brakes they pretty much turn matte..

I'd love to get black wheels on my BMW, they're sooo nice!
