I mean no disrespect, bro. Sell those existing wheels and just get new ones that are less blingy. I would not bother with painting them.

Thanks for all your comments guys... ya I been tired of guys saying how good my car looks but the rims are just ugly well the chrome part of them I guess.. Ya I'm getting kinda tired of the crazy bling bling look myself... So from what I am gathering from your comments - Keep these wheels and get the center blacked out with still the chrome lip??? Not getting a hole new set of wheels?? Which I don't wanna do cause I don't got the money for.. jsut so you know this is basiaclly what it will look like with the high gloss black but minus the chrome center cap that will be painted black as well..
555 jsut curious is it that you don't like the style of the wheel or wa??

Whats up Hamann5?? I must say, Not being a big fan of the chrome look myself, I've always liked your car very much but after seeing that photoshop, you'd be crazy NOT to paint them black.? That looks amazing.? Do it.? You won't be sorry.? Guaranteed.

Those wheels do not belong on a BMW. They look like Blinged-Out, Ghetto-Riffic, Mercedes wheels.
LOSE THEM ASAP.

One more vote for black. How much more would it be to sell the rims and buy something else, vs. painting them? My advice would be to get something you really like, especially if you're only talking a few hundred dollar difference.

That Hamann bumper and your current wheels seem to clash somewhat. The car looks a little mixed-up, if that makes any sense. So, go for something in 20" with a black center and a POLISHED lip (not chrome).
Didn't you say you were going to add the ACS trunk spoiler?
That is awesome! You've got the same set-up I'm trying to achieve...Hamann bumper and ACS trunk spoiler.

Blacked out is much better so if you go that route, do keep the chrome lip.
I'd rather have new wheels though. A friend of mine recently did a gloss black finish on his wheels, and it cost him around $600. I think he knew the owner of the place too.
