Gloss or Satin Black Wheels?
Just dropped off my wheels at powder coating shop. I chose gloss black and wife says to get satin instead.... I attached pic of my wheels and Arctic Grey. I just ordered black grill too....
I still have plenty of time to change the color. I also attached a pic of the wheels plastidipped. This was just temporary to see how well I liked the color. I also also attached a pic of my winter setup with HELO wheels in gloss. Decisions decisions... |

I like the gloss black.
Are those the Helo HE912 from Tirerack? Did you get the 20mm or 40mm offset? The stock is 35mm, so I wasn't sure if it would be better to go with a 40mm and get a 5mm spacer (if even needed), or with the 20mm and deal with the 15mm positive scrub.

Wow, this is the bluest I've seen the Arctic Gray look yet, almost said I don't love black with the blue paint! (Then remembered you said AG). I think given those blue tones, satin would look better and gloss may clash. But maybe you have an idea from your winters whether or not that is an issue in person.

I wonder how would the 740 style 20" wheels would look in satin black powder coated? Anyone with mad photoshop skills care to showcase?

Thanks for posting this. I just bought my G05 on 6-11-2020. I'm considering going with a glossy black powder coat. Having a hard time find a shop in Northern Virginia. So far I have a quote from the BMW dealer and another shop for about $800.
Curious, where did you order the black grill? I'd like that as well. |
