painting OEM type 162 wheels ???

rolling18 · 07-31-2006, 10:05 PM

hey i was wanting to get some thoughts on painting the stocker 162 sport wheels...

I have the sparkling graphite color with 20% tint and to me the wheels seem way to bright like they stick out to much.

was thinkin of having them painted/ powdercoated either body color or a dark grey or silver color..

thougts, arrows, slings, cries of outrage?

any pictures of this idea?

(i did search and found nothing) heheh

I say do it and make sure you paint it black. This way you wont notice brake dust as much.

Could work depending on the color.

Satin silver (darkish silver) like the M wheels will be fantastic I think..
Or is it satin already?

There is one Alpine white e90 on this board with painted to match 162's.

Looked unexpectedly good. Was it that KAS guy? Hmmm, let me dig it up...

EDIT: Hahaha, I was right. It's bhattimalik's car, before the fatal custom exhaust conversion.

I think it would look really nice if you painted the OEM 162's gunmetal or SG
