I currently have 530i sports wheels (a.k.a 123 wheels)

I do like look of 123 wheels on my car (jet black), but 123 wheels look...ummm....too much stock.

I want to squeeze most of juice out from stock wheels.

Should I paint it to black or graphite? or should leave it as is until I purchase new set of wheels?
It only costs around $200-300 to do so in LA (I already have contacted several places on craigslist)

I think I've seen someone who painted 123 wheels on this forum, but I can't find the post.

id do it the same color as your car, using oem bmw paint so youd have that gold flake in it aswell

matte black is another great choice too

I'd not fvck with painting 'em, just put the money aside and let that be the start of the "new rims piggy bank"

PraiseTheLowered

thats the other option too

depends on the wheels that you are going for, if they are dpe, work etc they are super expensive so it would be worthwhile to tinker with what you have now

if they are cheap like vmr or miro then set that money aside and put it towards the new wheels and tires
