Color/Finish: Gloss Black
Size: 20" Sports Wheels
Cost: $80 per wheel
Location: Louisiana


When I hear powder coat I think shiny glossy black. Looks amazing. This is what I wanted but the guy that did mine simply painted them gloss black. Doesn't have the deep shiny glossy look.


80$ per wheel? A guy on craigslist wanted $500 for a set of 19's already powder coated gloss black and I'd also give up my rims! Rip off


Too bad I'm in ~LA or I'd go to the place that did yours

You’re right on. Only bad part is when you get a curb rash holy is it noticeable. I got mine done glossy black and I have some regrets. When it’s wet or freshly washed it’s glossy and looks beautiful. As soon as I drive it a bit the dirt just masks the wheel and makes it look like a cheap matte black plasti dip. Can anyone here comment about their experience with glossy black or did I just get a shitty powder coat job done? Thanks

Ceramic coat your rims. It'll always look fresh! Gyeon Rim ceramic coating.

Yup! He does it on the side and does a great job honestly.

That sounds like a lot yikes!

Just had my wheels done today. :) It’s nearly impossible to capture the true color of the wheels in a photo but this first pic is the best example I have. It’s a really nice dark grey with a bit of pop to it (better looking than the Performance Grey 20” color IMO; the Performance seem a bit dull in comparison).

Color/Finish: Satin (Gunmetal) Grey
Size: 19" Sports Wheels
Cost: $500 all in
Location: Garden Grove in Socal
Shop: JRWheel

Another happy customer from JRWheel here! Luis is the owner and people don’t get any kinder than this man. If you live within an hour, or two, of this shop, don’t bother calling around. Schedule an appointment now. You’ll be very happy you did.

Car is looking amazing! I’m just now getting a chrome delete on my MSM and want to powder coat the wheels same color as yours. I have a SR+ but my wheel gap seems a lot bigger.. did you have it dropped and if so how much? How’s the ride compared to before? Your car looks
 
Stone Black (kinda semi-gloss)
$150 CAD per wheel
Ottawa, Canada.

I still need to ceramic coat them. They get a bit dirty in the rain. The guy at the shop didn’t recommend full-on gloss black since they tend to get scratches after a while. My winter rims are 18” gloss black and they aren’t easy to keep looking clean in the snow.

Winter rims: bought on eBay (before I actually had the car.) I think I like the stone black better. Definitely like the 19”rims better.

Hey Johnny. It’s been a year… how are you like the rims? I’m considering reaching out to JRWheel.
They've held up very well! I'm still liking the color I had them powder coated!

A few curb rash on the rear wheels but had them repaired and repainted but yeah I would highly recommend reaching out to JRWheel to see which finish you want your wheels to be done!
 
Guys, I’m picking up a set of 19” brand new on Friday. Want to powder them the same colour as the new model S 21” wheels…as well as the centre cap and cover to match. Amazing they are essentially the same wheel but in 19” format for M3.!

I’m picking up a black on black M3 and want the T decals to also match the same colour as the wheels :) gun metal or charcoal or whatever it is. Figure gun metal decals on black would look classy! No chrome :)

Thoughts?
