My Ride: 2007 Silver Grey 530 XI
Ok, so here's the deal... I want to get new wheels, but the wife and I are having twins in May! So, needless to say money is being saved right now. I saw an ad recently about powdercoating services. I really like the look of darker wheels on the titanium silver. Has anyone done this to their OEM wheels? I was thinking this would be fun until I can get what I want! What do you guys think?

I think you should weigh out the cost of dis-mounting the tires, having the wheels powdercoated and then having the tires re-mounted and balanced. It's probably going to cost around $400 to $450. You could save the $ towards a bigger better set later, or just do it! Your call! Goodluck!

I say if you like your wheels but are just looking for a different look, then powdercoat.. But I'm biased
