I know several have asked ( including me) what the 740M wheels look like powder coated. Just pulled the trigger, very happy with the results.

These aren't fancy pictures; I will post nicer ones down the road.
I did 50% gloss and had them ceramic coated as well. Cheers! :party0030:

Looking good with this Grey color :clap:

I have Arctic Grey and originally spec'd 740M. I think this looks great.

Those look pretty good. Great match with that paint color and the grille!

Very nice. Time to buy some spacers ;)

It looks that way, I agree :)

Really wanted to order the 742M Black 22s, but this looks almost just as good. I need an all season tire, and ended up going with these 740M with the plan to power coat on day 1.

Hi - thinking of powder coating the same rims on my X5. Any update on how the powder coating has held up? Any issues? What specific color / finish did you go with? Any and all advice / recommendations would be helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for that pic, I'm gonna get mine powder coated asap. Beautiful.

Do you still have this X5? I just bought some wheels and tires with the exact same pictures from New York.

Powder coating held up great for years- I traded in for an M60i- the company I used is well-known in the Denver area for fantastic work of very high-performance vehicles.

I traded that in last August for a new M60i. Dealer gave me an amazing trade-in price and deal.

mtn2surf, I am in Boulder- what was the powder coating company you used? I gogoled around but only found one that would do it and they said i have to remove the wheels and bring them in and I dont have an extra set so not sure how I would do that.

Looks real good! Considering doing this over buying used 742m wheels
