Powder Coating 19 inch sport wheels

[Evpowerdan]

Does anyone have a paint code available? Went by local shop today and its $140 per rim for painting, powder coating is unnecessary IMO (Tesla wheels come painted). Also the gloss vs satin vs matte finish is so hard to choose.

Tesla should have a paint code for the wheels, as they may different based on the wheel. Also, T-Sportline sells touch up paint that matches the Tesla OEM rims - so look at their site too.

I had mine painted darker when I had it in, to repair some wheel scratches. I absolutely love the new look, and am so glad I decided to do the color change at the time.

What color did you have them use? They look great.

It’s actually a Mercedes paint color. See the attached photo of the paint sample number:

Looks good. What is hyper dipped and how does that differ to powder coating?

It is just a better, glossier, and more durable plasti dip. Not permanent like powder coating nor will it last as long. Only benefit is - you can hydrodip in a day, not take off the wheels, and its removable.

Looks good - wish the 19" sport wheel would come the same color as the model S Plaid's 21" wheel. Did you take them off and do the insides too? Otherwise the silver paint would show.

No sir - just the outside. I have done it both ways before and the extra work to do the insides proved de minimus to the overall look. Plus - doing only the outsides i used every bit of the 5 cans in the kit... you wouldn't have enough hyperdip to do the insides, and outside correctly.

Powder coated in matte black that matches like 95% of the tesla chrome delete. Hope it helps

Looks great. Would be nice to see a pic of those rims from the other side in the sun with the blue paint.

They are pics taken when it was a sunny day. I will snap more when we have a sun - FYI: I Ceramic coated the car and the rims... when dirty or dusty they look like dark greyyyyyyyy.

The Rims are 19inch sports wheels from tesla.

Blue looks amazing and different with the light. Your M3 Looks much better than the "Silver" colors wheels - wish those 19" sport wheels were the same color as the model S (21" Arachnid Wheels) & X (22'' Turbine Wheels).

It would be noice for sure!!! Marketing-wise people will go forward more with a SR+ or LR and get 19" sports wheels and not the M3P.

Still trying to figure out what color I want to hyperdip my blue M3, so far Im leaning towards white...

I gotta say, these 19" sport wheels (especially in black) look amazing. I like them so much better than the Inductions and Uberturbines. Plus being 19" instead of 20", they would ride a little better too.

Got mine done a few weeks ago in satin black, paint not powder coat. Wasn't sure at first, but really happy with how it turned out. Efficiency is identical to my 18" aero rims (no hub caps) per my trip computer after 1,000+ miles of driving already. Also I cannot tell a difference in ride quality or noise vs the 18" aeros. In fact part of me wants to say the 19" rims feel and sound better, but the Conti's could also just be better tires than the Michelin MXM4's.
