What do you guys think of these rims?

mattryan · 03-11-2011, 04:59 PM

so my 2012 135 is going to be here in about a month and I'm still trying to figure out what to do about the rims. I'm not too fond of the new 372 rim's or the 261m rim's so the dealer agreed that if I wanted the 264's from a 2011 they wouldn't mind swapping them out for me once my car arrives. I was just in the Photo and Videos Forum and saw a video of the 264 rim's painted and wanted some feed back from you guys on them... maybe gunmetal instead of black or do you think all gunmetal or all black would look better?

I think 264s look better without the extra paint.

If they had them my 2010 AW would be wearing them.

powder coat or wet paint? i just talked to a guy that does power coating and wet paint who was referred to me buy a friend of mine and he said that he would prefer to do them with powder coat... he also said that he would have to redo the whole wheel

he quoted me $900! so do you guys think that's too much? also do you think you would have to redo the whole wheel? and oh... black or gunmetal?

I meant if they came from the factory. At this time Im not going to do it but maybe down the road. They OEM color 264's are nice also.

I like the look quite a bit... but for the amount of money it would cost to do it right, I'd rather put that money towards an entirely different set of rims.
