Hi guys,
Its winter, so I have my winter wheels on my car. I am thinking baout haveing my 121s painted/powdercoated this winter for a new look in the spring. What are your thoughts opinions. Please refrain from the "get different wheels" comments. If I have them painted, what color do you think would look good?
The 121s are on my car in the picture in my signature...

Jody, a dark powdercoat (gunmetal or darker) would go well with your shadowline trim and grills and tint against your color e60. just my opinion.

Not feeling black... at all...
Gun metal might look good
I kind of like them the way they are
If it was me and I wanted to make them "pop" a bit I would have them refinished but painted a brighter silver like BBS CH's. They would look sharper/brighter than OEM but still have a factory look, if that makes sense...

Thanks guys, I am trying to photoshop a picture of the car to see a gunmetal look. I think that may be the way to go. It will make them dark, yet not black. With them being black, I think it might be too dark...
