I keep thinking about having my wheels done in gloss black. If anyone here has some sick photoshop skills or any if that, Ill attach all that pictures I have shot in day time.

Some crappy cell pics but hopefully they are good enough. Thanks!!

 

Your car looks good.

 

looks good, i'd leave them chrome.

 

Car looks great, love the chrome. What kind of rims are those?

 

Thanks guys! I know ill miss the clean *** chrome on black! I dont know yet just throwing that out there.

These wheels are factory BMW wheels, They are called M-Parallel wheels. I was looking at buying wheels and a local guy ended trying this on his Z for a few months and I fell in love with the look and offset. Got a used set of them in perfect condition and had SS caps made for them.

 

Yeah, change the wheels to black. You're not driving a SUV.

 

Leave them IMO. I love those wheels. I knew they were the BMW M wheels but they look like high quality forged wheels like Fikses or iForged to me. Wish I could find a set for my car, I'd swap out in a heartbeat.

 

sick wheels...i dont think its worth the trouble to get them powdercoated.

what are the specs on your wheel/tire setup?

again, nice car.

 

hey man those wheels are freakin sick!! i'd keep them and get a set of z06's and get htem powdercoated..then you can have your cake and eat it too

and are those wheels 17x9.5" or???? if i had the money whichi dont but i would take and stretch the rear to 11" and leave them just as they are...again very nice car andi love the wheels!!! and what make/model of beamer did they come off of? backspacing?

 

They're 18x8 and 18x9.5 right? Backspacing is pretty low IIRC, and they're off the E36 5-series cars (or at least those are the only BMW models I've actually seen them on).

Eh, idk, I think i would keep them chrome...they look too good

 

You should be slapped for even considering painting those wheels. Car looks perfect IMO.

 

Thats the reason I got them, I was actualy looking at buying some Fikse wheels but I couldnt pass these up for what I got them for.

The set-up

18x8 225/45/18 Mich Pilots

18x9.5 285/35/18 Mich Pilots

Im actualy gonna have them widened to a 11'' thats the reason I was asking about the color choice.

Correct!

Good prices on those wheels but I think they are just the machined wheels? I couldnt find chrome unless I totaly missed it.

I almost hit a deer the other day goin 45mph and totaly swirved off the road, hit a curb, broke both wheels on the pasanger side and completely dented the rear qrt panel! Insurance is gonna pay for the damage but I still have to pay $1,000 deductable So I figured new tires all around, streatch the rears to a 11 and powdercoat them black.

I couldnt see the deer because of a car in front of me coming the opposite way, the car swirved towards me and I swirved the same way away from him and the deer, hit the front right side 1st, then the *** came up on the curb, tried to pull away from the curb on to the road but no traction on grass caused me to keep sliding same direction...hit the sign and got out, none of the cars stopped and just kept driving.

 

WoW !! sorry to hear that man ! Your car looked good! I'm sure you will have it up again in no time. Im happy your okay too.

 

ouch, yea that really sucks i would have been rippin pissed! i had a couple close calls myself but most mine were retarded drivers and i was able to avoid.

 

Perfect time to get the widened though while you're getting them repaired. Weldcraft can do all that.

 

I just sent them pictures of the wheels, I forgot they can repair wheels!

 

Yes sir, and they do a great job too! I don't know if you'll need the chunk that came out or not, but I'd definitely ask them if they do (if you still have it).

 

I defidently dont have that piece! damn, I might be able to find it.
