Black Powder Coated OEM Wheels with Dunlop Z1 and Montego Pics

Choclove23 · 10-02-2008, 08:52 AM

Very sweeeeeeeeeeeet! You'll have to get black valve stems and caps though.
I had black rims on my last car and it was nicknamed the Batmobile.

I'm planning on getting the new 18" 182s in Black if they ever get to Australia soon.
If not I'll have to find replicas.
I'd like the M6 ones in black.

NICE, great call on the 20% gloss. How well would you say it matches shadowline???

It matches pretty close in some lights, but Shadowline is definitely more glossy/black chromish looking. Too much more gloss will show dust like crazy and look worse over time I think, but that is just opinion.

Temple dog, are you running spacers on this set-up?, it appears the wheels come further out towards the fender. Maybe it's because the car is lowered on the H&R's. How do you like the H&R's btw, I had them on my mini but it was just too bouncy, the stock shocks didn't have enough damping. I was thinking of going coil-overs this time around. what is your thought?

thanks!

Hahaha...nice 335i!!!

I love the H&Rs. There are a lot of guys running just the springs with stock shocks. Not to say they will not go out. You are must likely better off getting coilovers now, but when I did mine no one even made them yet, and no one made shocks yet. I will drive this set up until I have issues though and after almost a 1000 track miles and 3500 city/highway miles they still feel great.

looks very nice

Thanks for the advice and feedback:w00t:

I'm looking to sell my stock rims if someone is interested... check out the for sale section. They have 800 miles with run flats... could look into getting them powder coated before selling.

Boogie · 01-02-2009, 01:06 PM

Forget the performance wheels, that looks so much better!

corpsman · 01-02-2009, 03:34 PM

That looks awesome. Now that I have the OEMs in storage, I need to find PCers out here.

AlBel1214 · 01-03-2009, 02:08 PM

^^^ Go fot it man... I love that I went this route..

Not sure the lowering amount, check H&R site for Sport Springs.

Also a note to anyone looking to go black to hide brake dust....basic driving, yes it does a great job. Hard day at the track.......not so much! I don't think any color could ever mask this much super heated dust in only 3 sessions.

holy smokes, I just want to make sure of one thing Temple, is that just dust on the rim/wheels or is it fade in colour O_O!

Templedogg · 01-05-2009, 02:06 PM

Must just be dust in the photo. There is no fade in.

Smac355 · 01-05-2009, 08:18 PM

Anyone know of a good powdercoating place in the Philly area... i found a place in Quakertown, but they want 600!

IUpod · 01-08-2009, 12:17 AM

Blue on black looks great. If only mine was blue.... Sadness.

flynguy145 · 08-18-2011, 04:51 AM

Has anyone done their montego blue with the M sport rims. I have a 2011 and was looking to do it. thx!

Kudeltman · 08-19-2011, 03:51 PM

Anyone have any pics of what this would look like on Jet Black?

Looks good! I want to to the same wheels in Red on my JB 135.

alpinewhite3series · 08-25-2011, 10:16 AM

Looks awesome u got the same color as my 135i. I'm
Now convinced that y spend money on aftermarket wheels when you could powdercoat the factory wheels put spacers n have a aftermarket setup for a fraction of the price. Now since it'd powder what do u use to clean them and are u allowed to use the bristle brush to clean the inner rim and r u able to use degreaser? Thing I'll look into b4 powdercoating.

f1rst 1 · 11-08-2011, 08:40 PM

Thanks to this post I did the exact same color combo on my 264s (matte plus 20%). I think they turned out great. (winter tires are mounted, suspension upgrades coming soon)
