Powder coated my bi color 930's

Such a huge difference. Love the look. Let the brake dust comments commence!

Love it!!! I think the dust won't be as visible, because on the gloss black it looked like cinnamon is coating it.

They do look better to my eye. I'm not a bi-color fan.
Maybe you should have powdercoated them the same color as the brake dust...

What was the all in cost with tires being dismounted and mounted? I wanted to get the silver 930 wheels, I currently have the black/silver 930m’s but powder coating may be the better option.

I’m in a pricey area (Northern VA) and it was 950 all in.

Who did you get to do it? I’m also in NOVA?

If not defeated by tariffs, I’ll be getting silver wheels in a few months, up for grabs. My car started production 2/21.

OP, just curious, how did you select the color? Do they have color charts or do they give you samples of what they can do?

They had a few different choices, this is called Bengal Silver. I’m a big Cincinnati fan so it was fitting

This is off topic a bit but wondering if anyone has considered just removing some of the black from certain areas of the wheels (spokes and rim in particular) - sort of like making them what BMW calls "bicolor".

Might not be possible but I would guess that a highly skilled body/paint man could do it without having to remove the tires and might even could leave the wheels on the car the entire time. Might be a lot less expensive and less time consuming than a complete powder coating but still provide some pop/contrast between body color and wheels.

Other than being very hard to clean and keep clean, I like the look of the bicolor wheels on my BSM M240i and would like to have something similar on the M2 that I am actively seeking to buy. (Yeah, I can order the car equipped that way but don't want to wait another 3-4 months like I did for my M240i.
