Would look better if the car itself wasn't plasti-dipped. I love the look of the gold rims & the original car color. All IMO though... do what suits YOUR taste best.
Your car is suppose to define your taste, not others.

Well done, I can't dig the design, but I like that your trying something different with it. DipYourCar.com has tools to allow you to dip your entire ride if that's what you want. I did the whole PlastiDip wheels back in the day and can't ever go back. The sun fades it after awhile and makes it look awful. Its also a pain to remove (not that it can't, its just time consuming).

Been a while, but here's what I ended up doing to it. We make our own mixtures of plastidip using pearls and metallics. The goal was to get close to the Carbon Black's effect. It came out more blue, but still flips colors some (indigo, navy, midnight, black). I did the wheels in anthracite, but I'm thinking of going back to the gold.
And here's a short video of it from my Instagram http://distilleryvesper7-7.ak.instag...e5466b_101.mp4

Now time for me to either go crazy with mods (m-tech kit, exhaust, chip, intercooler, yadda yadda ya), or wait and get a 435i which would be an epic move lol
